Short description
Veracious Network hosted in central Ohio, US is comprised of folks interested in gaming, technology, science, and open source. 18+ content allowed (only with content warning included)
Long description
A US-based community for Veracious Network adult/18+ members, but open to anyone to join. Minors/children are discouraged to join as our language and content is often not suitable for young eyes.

If you are located in one of those states with absurd laws around social media and adult content, check with your local politician to ask if you're legally allowed to access this site.

Feel free to join if you are interested in gaming, technology, compsci, coding, FOSS, like Linux and hate Windows, like Windows and hate Linux, enjoy infosec, or are just bored; we're all pretty easy going. We have a Discord if you'd prefer to chit chat in real time.

NSFW/18+ content is welcome and perfectly fine, just please ensure it is tagged as such.

Absolutely no link building accounts; these will be deleted immediately. Branded accounts are allowed with prior authorization.

Loli, racism, transphobia, sexism, homophobia, personal attacks, etc are not tolerated here.

Server operated and managed by the admin team at Veracious Network, SSL provided by LetsEncrypt, and CDN for media hosted on Digital Ocean. Instance running on a private Proxmox cluster on SuperMicro hypervisors near Columbus Ohio.
Instance rules
  1. No Racism or Hate Speech
  2. Political discussion and debate is fine, arguing like children is fine if you really want, but keep it mostly civil and do not attack someone personally.
  3. Interacting with the community is highly recommended, but lurkers are welcome too if that's your thing.
  4. If you encounter issues with any of our server's and or members. Please let an admin or moderator know!
  5. Treat others how you would like to be treated
  6. Do not advertise without permission and absolutely no link building campaign accounts. Accounts for knock-off imitation products, gambling, and cock fighting will be promptly blocked.
  7. Do not link scam websites
  8. Staff and moderators decisions are authoritative and final, but we're still humans; feel free to open a dialogue to ask about our decisions.
  9. Community members are free to express themselves openly and give constructive criticism and feedback
  10. No exposed genitalia (penis, vagina) in your profile image or profile banner. Full nudity is allowed within posts when a Content Warning (NSFW/nudity/etc) is applied to inform folks of the content.
  11. Valid and reachable email is required, no temporary email accounts, sorry. We don't sell your emails or sign you up for bullshit, but we _do_ need to be able to reach you should there be an issue with your account.
  12. No selling drugs, (legal or illegal), on the platform.
  13. Due to an ongoing attack against the network, we have temporally changed registrations to require moderator approval.
