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

About

Colibri Social

Features
Read full description

Colibri is a next-generation social chat app, built on the AT Protocol (also called ATproto). You sign in with your existing Atmosphere identity, and your messages, images, and identity stay in your own PDS (Personal Data Server). You own them, and they travel with you across the network instead of being locked inside our servers. Communities work the same way: each one is its own repository on the network, so a community’s data isn’t trapped in any single app either. Chat with friends, get on voice and video calls, and let your community spread its wings.
