@shroomie people with multi-part given names that don't make sense if you split them according to the space

people with multiple surnames

people with only one name

people who go by their middle name

people who have multiple given names

people who have only one name

people with multi-part last names that don't make sense if you split them according to the space ("Beethoven's middle name is 'van' with a small V")

etc.

@apophis ahhhh. yeah. my mother had raised some orphans from africa before she had me and they have non-traditional (by america’s standards) names, and she’s told me how much of a headache getting them registered for things like driver’s licenses was.

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
