Preparing the room…
Masque is an 18+ platform, and every new member passes an ID and selfie check before coming in. You must be 18 or older to enter.
All models were 18 or older at the time of depiction.
No birthday, no document, no account: the button just sets one cookie so we do not ask you again.
By entering you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy.
Pseudonymity
Masque is a pseudonymous social network: you choose a mask at the door, prove a real adult identity to an independent provider before you come in, and the mask is all anyone here will ever see. The freedom of anonymity, with a spine.
1
Pick a handle and a password, no email needed. The Town Square is public, so you can read it before you join.
2
Before you come in, Didit, an independent provider, checks your ID and selfie, keeps the documents, and returns a yes. It takes about two minutes, and it never happens here.

The handle you picked, and whatever face you want to wear. From then on, the mask is who you are, to everyone.
The internet has spent twenty years pretending there are two choices. Real names, where you are safe from nobody and accountable to everybody: one bad night lives next to your job applications forever. Or anonymity, where it is exactly reversed: the room belongs to whoever can make the most accounts fastest.
Pseudonymity is the old third option. Writers used it for centuries: a stable name, a real reputation, a private person behind it. What it always lacked online was a way to make one person hold one pseudonym. Verification finally supplies that, if a platform is willing to keep the verification and the pseudonym apart.
The separation is structural, not a policy promise. The identity check happens at an independent company that keeps the documents and returns a yes. Masque holds the mask you chose, an email address if you add one, and the yes. Members see the mask. Nobody sits in the middle holding both halves, and the halves are assembled only if law enforcement lawfully requires it, which is exactly where we want the bar.
That is the deal in one sentence: you are somebody here, you are accountable here, and Masque will never be the reason anyone finds out who you are.
One where every account is a persistent chosen identity, a pseudonym, rather than a legal name or a disposable handle. On Masque every new pseudonym is backed by an 18+ and identity check held by an independent provider, so one human gets one mask.
An anonymous account is free, plural, and disposable, which is why anonymous spaces drown in bots and returning bad actors. A verified pseudonym here is singular and earned: it costs a verification and cannot be replaced by lunchtime. A new handle costs nothing to pick, which is exactly why it gets nowhere until it has passed the check.
No. Not your name, your email, your birth date, or your documents. Members see your handle and whatever you choose to share, nothing else.
Only if the verifier and the platform are the same eyes. They are not. The provider sees documents and no conversations; Masque sees conversations and no documents.
Because every protection is downstream of it. Blocks that stick, bans that hold, reputations that mean something, rooms without bots: all of it collapses the moment one person can be two people.
Chat without your name attached, with adults who proved they are real.
Feeds, halls, salons, and chat, built for adults instead of against them.
Nobody can promise safe. Here is what safer actually looks like.
What the record says happens on the big platforms, with citations.
A letter from Scarlett, co-founder, on why this place exists.
Reporting, image removal, and the Field Guide. No account required.
The one room the whole internet can read, no account needed.
How joining and the ID check work, and what costs money.
Be somebody. Just not the somebody on your driver's license.
Free to join with a handle and a password. Then a two-minute ID and selfie check with Didit, and you're in. Nobody inside ever sees your name.
