Discourse

Discourse is a free server-based messaging app developed by a group of three I-Net developers. It allows users to create spaces to chat through text, voice and video with likeminded individuals or share works with fans and friends. Discourse gained its name due to the lack of official moderation on the platform, leading it to be used by early adopters for hosting political debates out of the eye of the government. Discourse is one of the few spaces on the internet which is impossible to access without an invite.

This is a double edged sword however, as the same freedom to speak your mind has allowed people to form illicit servers. This has given Discourse the more sinister connotation with the dark web, as it is known to house communities for topics such as pedophilia, bestiality, and snuff films. Like the Tor browser however, Discourse has not been banned in any form, as it is not responsible for the formation of these groups, rather they are an unpleasant byproduct of privacy.

(NOTE: While the app is used for illegal topics please do not use this server to roleplay or post topics of this nature.)

Discourse is represented by a stylised owl yelling into a megaphone, though the image of a stylised owl is used as the icon. It uses a light and dark theme, the light using pastel violets and pinks while the dark theme uses dark grey on shades of red.
