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/

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

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.

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

hi! i have fled israel to the united states, and will be staying here for up to three months.

some context: https://x.com/RhinozzCode/status/1804577284893876496

i will mostly be in the west coast, primarily in san francisco and the greater bay area, but i might find myself in the east coast eventually too.

please share
- interesting spots (for any definition of interesting)
- chill work environments, hackerspaces, etc, anything to get me out of my hotel room
- yourself, if you're in the area and we know each other

i already know about https://bay.lgbt, so no need to point me there!

boosts very welcome

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

to our donators, for helping keep this instance up:
