Human verification at signup
Every mask needs a face under it. Signup takes an email address or a phone number — that is the whole collection, and none of it is sold. It exists to make one thing true: there is a person behind every character.
Mokery is built for the jokes that get people banned elsewhere. That only works if the platform is unambiguous about the thing it will not tolerate — and about what happens when someone crosses it.
Every other platform draws its line at how a joke sounds. Tone-policing is cheap to enforce and it removes the entire genre along with the problem. We draw the line somewhere harder to game: not at how uncomfortable a joke is, but at what it does to a real person.
Dark humor, brutal satire, a ruthless roast of a bad take — that is the product, and none of it is a violation here. Targeted harassment, unbadged impersonation, doxxing and threats are not edgy comedy that went too far. They are a different activity wearing comedy as cover, and they are the exit.
Freedom requires structure. The permissive stance is only survivable because it is paired with hard guardrails, and the guardrails are not negotiable — they are the reason the freedom can exist at all.
Six of them, and none is optional. They are what a permissive content stance costs — and the reason it can be offered at all.
Every mask needs a face under it. Signup takes an email address or a phone number — that is the whole collection, and none of it is sold. It exists to make one thing true: there is a person behind every character.
Every character — masked or linked — is internally accountable to one verified account. The audience sees the performance. The platform sees the person. The privacy is yours; the accountability is ours.
Public-figure characters carry an automatic, permanent parody badge and a unique character ID on the avatar. Both travel with every post and every shared screenshot, so a joke can never be mistaken for a statement.
The scoreboard does moderation work before a moderator has to. Downvotes bury bad-faith content, and the room is very good at spotting someone who came to hurt rather than to perform.
Enforcement lands on the human, not the character. A ban removes every character on the account at once, masked and linked — the whole cast, the reputation, the greatest hits. That is what makes the deal expensive to break.
A written content policy and a v1 moderation and reporting toolkit are launch requirements, in active development. The draft is published below rather than kept private — you should be able to read the rules before you agree to them.
| Welcome — bad taste | Banned — bad faith |
|---|---|
| Dark humor, edgy satire | Targeted harassment of a real person |
| Parody of public figures, badged | Impersonation without the badge |
| Ruthless roast of a bad take | Doxxing, threats, or following someone off-stage |
The left column is the product. The right column is the exit. Anything genuinely ambiguous is decided by what it does to a real person, not by how it reads.
