About the Club

The Speakeasy at Bardic Perspiration is a close-knit community of misfits, rogues, and activists who all share a desire to make this and every world a better place. We're mostly friendly, sometimes salty, and more often than not inappropriate as hells because what fun is life if we're all going around being proper all of the time? Above all, though, we're here to relax between fighting evil and not bothering to take its names.

If you're trying to categorize us then you have your work cut out for you! We're witches and druids, gamers, writers, and artists. We're explorers and revolutionaries. And above all, we're adventurers!

A full set of our rules, principles, and all of that stuff can be found on our site at:

The Speakeasy Website!

Why a Speakeasy?

Speakeasies were places that laughed in the face of those who sought to control others people's lives and bodies. As misfits, the idea of am invite only home for like-minded people resonated with us. We wanted a place where we could speak our minds, share our truths, and plot the (obviously entirely legal and nonviolent) overthrow of tyranny and authoritarianism everywhere. And now, we have one!

So this is a free speech instance?

Absolutely not. The point of being exclusive is that we know we can trust each other. We don't need a ton of rules because the people here are awesome. But to be welcome here, you need to understand that we do not welcome bigots, racists, and all of those gross things people end up being when they're too ignorant or too small-minded to be better.

Short answer, no. You can check our rules to see the sorts of things we do not welcome.

Sign-Up

Joining the Speakeasy is a straightforward process, requiring only a little bit of your time.

Submit an Application on the Fedi Instance - The first step is to submit an application. This starts the process of vibe checking you for membership! Make sure you enter a good email address and remember your username. We will email you the questionnaire, so once you apply... expect that message from us within a day or two.

Complete the Questionnaire - Assuming you don't give off spammer or troll vibes, we will email you the questionnaire. The best way to help us decide whether you vibe is to know more about you... and the questionnaire helps us do that! Because we want to respect your privacy (for real, not like corpos do) we only ask you to answer things that you're comfortable answering, and we don't ask you to do weird, creepy stuff like provide ID or blood or whatever. You don't have to answer anything you're not comfortable answering, but we do need at least something to work with!

Answer Any Follow-Up Questions - Occasionally, we might have follow-up questions for you. Maybe you forgot to answer a question, maybe an account you listed doesn't show up, or maybe we need a little bit more to verify that you're legit.

Receive an Answer - The Investigatrix will contact you when she's done with her review. There are three possible outcomes for an application:

First, you can be Approved, which means you passed the vibe check! We'll approve your application, send you your welcome pack, and you should be able to log into your account pretty much immediately.

Second, you can be put on Hold, which means we have some questions or concerns we want to clear up. This is not a no, this is just... pending information. If you choose not to answer or do not respond, we'll have to decide on what we know.

Third, we may Decline your application. The reasons we decline applications vary, but some obvious ones would be evidence that you are a troll, that you're not at least 18, or you have done things or said things that violate our rules.
