Sign in to chat Request an invitation

Sign in with just your username. New members get an invitation link from a group leader first.

Getting started

Signing in

Open chat.beta.kink.town and sign in with just your username and password. New members create their account first through an invitation link from a group leader. The first time you sign in, the app asks you to set up Secure Backup. Save the recovery key somewhere safe. Without it, a lost phone means lost message history.

Encryption

Every chat is end to end encrypted, always: group rooms, direct messages, and voice, video and screen share calls of any size. The server only sees who is in which room and when, never what is said. The first time you sign in it may take a moment to set up your encryption keys before you can send your first message.

Voice and video calls

If nobody can see or hear you in a call, your browser, network or VPN is probably blocking WebRTC. VPN browser extensions often have a "WebRTC leak protection" switch that needs to be off for calls to work. Trying another network is the quickest test.

Apps and clients

The chat runs on Matrix, an open standard, using the Element apps. Use chat.beta.kink.town in any browser, where it can also be installed as an app from the browser menu. On a phone, install Element X and sign in by scanning the QR code from the web app under Settings, Sessions, Link new device. This is a beta server while we test, so expect an occasional reset.

Group rules
  • All potential members must be vetted before their first event with the group. Feel free to reach out and message the IIK Fetlife page for a brief vetting questionnaire so we can get to know you! Be mindful that it may take a little bit before we can get back to you, so give us at least 48 hours before the event you are trying to attend.
  • We may ask for references from other groups (BDS, SKS, etc…), these are not required, but helpful.
  • Prospective members will be offered Discord membership after their first event if they’ve spoken to at least two Organization Team members and after Team has had time to discuss the event.
  • Members are asked that they RSVP within 24 hours of the event as "Attending" so that we may print out the final guest list. If you are unsure, pleas put "Maybe Going" and we will reach out to you.
  • Please no blind friend requests or DM's. Make sure you have met someone and have had a positive and friendly interaction before sending/accepting friend requests and DM's.
