Coming from Discord, WhatsApp or Telegram? They still work — and they are all being folded into this one room. The four of them are below.

The whole community, one room.

One live room instead of four dead group chats. Everyone reads it in their own language, you can speak without a name attached, and nothing you say is hostage to a platform that can close the door on it.

Everyone reads it in their own language

Messages are translated as they land, into English, Spanish or Chinese, whichever you picked. You write in yours; everyone reads in theirs.

The original is never overwritten — it travels alongside the translation, so what somebody actually said is always recoverable. If translation fails, the message still arrives in its original language rather than not arriving at all.

Say it without a name attached

Post under a pseudonym when saying it under your own name would cost you something. An anonymous message carries no photo, no real name, and no badge — a dj or admin tag would identify the speaker on its own, so the server strips it before the message is sent, not just before it is drawn.

Reach someone without unmasking them

You can ask an anonymous poster to swap contacts, and they can accept — without their identity leaking to get the request there. The room passes a sealed reference the sender cannot read or reverse, so anonymity survives the introduction. It stays anonymous unless they decide otherwise.

Nobody gets thrown out over an accusation

No one gets banned from this room — unless they are convicted of a relevant crime. That is the whole rule.

The bar is a court, not a consensus, because the alternative is that whoever can gather the loudest crowd decides who belongs. An accusation is not a finding. Being disliked is not an offence. Individual messages still get removed when they break the covenant — that is a message leaving, not a person.

The standard

Does not remove you

A rumour. A call-out post. A pile-on. Someone with a grudge and an audience.

Does remove you

A conviction, in a court, for a crime that has something to do with this room and the people in it.

And the ordinary things

  • Photos, GIFs and stickers.
  • Replies, so a thread does not get lost in a busy hour.
  • Likes, when a message does not need a reply.

The room is moderated. Removed messages leave the room for everyone, and the covenant is the standard they are held to — worth reading before you post, not after.

The rooms it is replacing

Four rooms, built over four years, each solving a different problem. All still live. Nothing is being switched off — they are being folded in, and this page is where that happens.

The chat came before the events. It started in Mexico City in July 2021 — an anonymous flyer account first, a group chat shortly after. The flyer account broadcast; the group chat answered back, and that turned out to be the whole thing.

How the rooms are run

  • Curation is security, not optics

    Profiles are validated one by one before admission. The door is the feature.

  • Mutual aid is baseline

    Harm reduction, dentists, rides, blood drives, check-ins. The chat is a network, not a feed.

  • No cross-promo

    Not a billboard for other collectives. Your flyer is not everyone else's problem.

  • Brand accounts don't DM

    The chat is public. Your DMs are yours. If someone claiming to be SLIST slides in — they are not.

  • Dark taste, conversational

    Not a rule you can quote — something you can feel. Off-vibe posts fade without ceremony.
