yes. substack kinda suffers from the same issues as medium, aka a platform that could absolutely die or become unusable if poorly managed. but if it pushes people towards better forms of writing, that's a good first step.

at least whenever something like that happens, people will be able to just switch to better platforms (for example, selfhosting :>)

not sponsored, but stalwart has honestly been the easiest selfhosted email i've used. stupidly easy to set up, and while it has its flaws (the installation method is a bash script D:), even someone who's just getting into selfhosting can start a mail server using an inexpensive VPS (heck, our email is hosted in a $12/year VPS). https://stalw.art/

About Coral Castle

coral castle

welcome to coral castle, a chill community sailing on the fediverse. we strive to be a safe, left-leaning, queer-friendly, communitarian space for all kinds of folk. before joining, make sure to read our community guidelines.

community guidelines

  1. you must be over 14 years old to join. coral castle's servers are hosted in chile, and under article 19,628 of the laws of chile, we are unauthorized to collect data from people under 14.
  2. do not spam or raid. the fediverse is not your space to intoxicate.
  3. nsfw/nsfl content must be marked as sensitive. coral castle is built to be used as a casual instance, and as such should be accessible anywhere.
  4. hate speech, paraphilia, and harassment will get you banned. having basic human decency is key anywhere. whether it is in real life or on the internet, don't be a jerk.
  5. keep things legal. this includes pirated content, since we want to keep a good relationship across fediverse servers. posting CSAM is strictly forbidden and will result in legal action.

moderation policies

the sanctions for local users will be relative to the gravity of their infringements, varying from simply deleting the offending material, to warning the user through a three-strike system, to immediately banning the offending user.

if you're an instance administrator and you think your instance was sanctioned by mistake, feel free to appeal by emailing me at lux@nixgoat.me

special thanks
