Welcome to Velbit! Velbit (formerly known as 0bit) is a community-driven social network that introduces a lot of unique features, such as: chaotic mode, badges, different post types, and Discord integration! Chaotic mode is a setting that dispatches notifications to the receiving end of unfollows, unlikes, and unrequest. Badges are icons that are displayed on users profile. These badges can be obtained by participating in community events. The different post types that are operational as of now are text, photo, video, music, video game, cinema, and poll posts. With our Discord integration, your Discord will be tagged whenever someone runs a whois on your 0BIT profile. Along with that, our Discord bot (Bit Bot) will automagically sync your badges over from 0BIT to the Discord server! Terms of Use: https://support.obit.media/terms-of-use
