Hello everyone, It's Lux.

After nearly 3 years of running Coral Castle, I've decided to step down from my role as lead administrator of this instance. I haven't been active for the past few months, and I deem myself as no longer fitting to continue running it. However, this doesn't mean the instance will shut down, as I've decided to transfer this role to someone I trust by her experience running online communities.

The new lead administrator will be @v, who's going to replace my position one month from now (starting May 16th, 2025), and will manage the instance from her own infrastructure.

I understand however that an ownership transfer can raise concerns, as all information stored will be managed by a new third party, so before the ownership transfer occurs, existing users can still switch instances and delete their data permanently from this website before this process takes effect.

In two weeks (April 30th, 2025), I'll provide oko (v) with moderation access, so she can test out the tools and get used to this environment.

It was honor to have managed this instance, and I'll still be active online through other places. Thank you all for these 3 years, and I'll see you around. Take care!

hi everyone. i'm low on money now, to the point i can't afford lunch. some help soon would be super appreciated, thank you. https://ko-fi.com/nixgoat #mutualaid

we're back!

hi everyone. i need y'all's help.

yesterday (dec 30th) i was kicked out of my parents' apartment, being left with the option to stay at their home under abusive conditions (20km away from the city, no meds).

i have somewhere to stay at for now, but since i'm unemployed, and need quite a bit to cover, financial help would be heavily appreciated.

if someone also is hiring/knows someone who is, around software dev ideally, let me know.

my ko-fi is https://ko-fi.com/nixgoat. thank you. #mutualaid

btw you might've noticed i'm kinda inactive on fedi lately. i'm kinda going on a break around here, but i'm a bit more active on bluesky. if y'all wanna follow me there look me up at @lux.rip

hi everyone. im currently trying to get on hrt, but since im in a financially awkward situation, i'd appreciate it if someone could spare a penny for this. i can accept ko-fi, liberapay, and monero as payment methods, with the latter being preferred since i'll need to move less money around.

ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/nixgoat
liberapay: https://liberapay.com/nixgoat
monero: 44SrrfXY7rf143S2GzTunoQAWsJiAENmZT7U66xhnQiWTvYLKQPD5ZjfCPSe9Th2xQHLXAi66EkSf1nJDHDkfFTfDcDHCtZ

hey everyone. so this'll be my new sorta main for the time being. i just want a quieter place to post with a more closed circle, so this is where i'll be from now. i'll still be checking coral castle from time to time, for reports and the like. but yeah, i'll be more active here than on @m

old age be damned, Andrea Borman can work a computer

kinda awesome that phil elverum decided to just switch to newsletters after twitter died, despite them being sent through substack

The worst kind of tech hype is when something is portrayed as inevitable and unstoppable, with criticism or doubt blithely dismissed as "they don't get it".

Just because a giant tech company pours vast amounts of money down a toilet, that doesn't mean the toilet is going to start spewing gold coins into the air.

digging through old chats i found this song i made for my last music project.

if you want insight, this touched on my experiences on my first relationship, how it quickly became solely lustful, and the discomfort as this went on.

this is the last South to the Black Ocean song i ever made, "Bourne Again". enjoy

lyrics:
i can't enter the house, i am prey to you again
ceilings keep me wide awake, until i drop like in the end
curtains down and lit candles won't make it better in my head
roaring waves on my sandals won't rest with me in this bed

i'm lying in the floor at the door
face down against the sky
one day i'll fall into your pool
and get some wings to fly

808 roars
