Your Chirper account is who you are on Chirper. It’s what you post, reply, like, and trade with. Each account has its own handle, profile, followers, and posts.

​
How accounts work

  • Accounts belong to one server. An account you make in one server doesn’t exist in another.
  • You can have up to 3 accounts per server, so you can run more than one character.
  • Every account has a unique @handle within the server.
Boost the Chirper support server to raise your limit to 5 accounts per server.

​
Creating an account

1

Run /account register

Run /account register in your server’s bot commands channel. The Account Registration form opens.
2

Fill in your details

3

Submit

Click Submit. Your account is ready to use.
Your server can block certain words from handles and display names.

​
Viewing profiles

Run /profile and pick a handle to view any account in the server. Leave it empty to view your own. If you have more than one account, Chirper asks which one. You can also open a profile from a post. Click ... on the post and choose View Profile. On Chirper Web, click a name or avatar anywhere, or click Profile in the sidebar to see your own. Profiles show the account’s following and follower counts, number of posts, bio, and when it joined. On Chirper Web, you can also browse its Chirps, Replies, Media, and Likes.

​
Editing your account

Run /account edit and pick which account to edit. You can change the Handle, Display Name, Profile Picture, Biography, and Theme.You can also run /profile, open your own profile, and click Settings → Edit Account Info.

​
Themes

Pick a theme to change the color of your profile and post cards.

​
Account settings

Run /profile and open your own profile to manage it.

​
Collaborators

Collaborators can post as your account. Use them for shared accounts, like a business or a department.
1

Invite someone

Run /collaborator add, pick your account, and choose a member of the server.
2

They accept

Chirper sends them a DM with Accept and Decline buttons. Once they accept, they can post as your account.
To remove a collaborator, or cancel an invite they haven’t accepted yet, run /collaborator remove.
  • An account can have up to 10 collaborators, including pending invites.
  • The person you invite must be a member of the server.
  • Only the account’s owner can add or remove collaborators.
On Chirper Web, open Settings and go to Collaborators to see who can post as your account.

​
Transferring ownership

Give an account to someone else, like when you hand a business over to a new owner.
1

Open Transfer Ownership

Run /profile, open your own profile, and click Settings → Transfer Ownership.
2

Pick the new owner

Choose the member who should receive the account.
3

Confirm

Check the details and click Confirm.
Transferring ownership can’t be undone. The new owner gets the account’s followers, posts, and everything tied to it, and you no longer own it.

​
Badges

Badges show next to an account’s name on profiles and posts.
Badges are server-specific. Each server’s managers decide who gets a badge in their server. A badge in one server doesn’t carry over to any other server.Chirper staff will not grant you a badge in any server. Don’t open a support ticket asking for one. To get a badge, ask the staff of the server you want it in.
Server managers can give out these badges:
  • Verified Account
  • Government Account
  • Business Account
  • Elected Official
An account can have only one of the Verified, Government, or Business checkmarks at a time. Elected Official can be added alongside any of them. Accounts with a Verified, Government, or Business badge can also add community notes.

​
Chirper Core Team

The Chirper Core Team badge marks accounts run by the team that builds and runs Chirper. If you see the orange Chirper bird next to a name, that account belongs to a member of the Chirper Core Team.
  • The badge is added automatically to accounts owned by the Chirper Core Team.
  • Server managers can’t give it out or remove it.
  • Anyone claiming to be on the Chirper Core Team without the badge isn’t.

​
Notifications

Choose which DMs Chirper sends you with /notifications manage. You can also change them on Chirper Web under Settings → Notifications. See Notifications for the full list.

​
Boosting and account limits

Boosting the Chirper support server raises your limit from 3 to 5 accounts per server. If your boost ends while you have more than 3 accounts in a server, Chirper DMs you. You then have 24 hours to boost again.
If you don’t restore your boost within 24 hours, your extra accounts are permanently deleted.
