You're a day late. ShiningWing knows of my secret guerrilla plot to take down Material themes for good.

Not broken but IMO the post title colours are a little too dark in the night mode theme.

I agree but I also realize that information density is also just my own preference lol

I really like the tightness of it all.
(Don't tell anyone on Raddle but I hate the material jerkoff they have with all the space they're wasting. I went there for text, not backgrounds.)

lol, I changed the tabs because I use an iphone se, which is too narrow to fit how wide the tabs get. I changed the style to work better while taking up less space, and I like how it makes the site just a little bit different from Raddle. Let me know if you want help making it work on jstpst.

Very nice, but it did a thing to my copy of my Raddle theme .-.
Nothing seems broken though, nice job.

I do value that there is some social software somewhere that has been explicitly designed to avert drama. Lot of it is indeed structural IMO.

I would like this too, but there are a few intersecting reasons that make this a fair bit more complicated than just pressing a button or even some simple code tweaks.

You could do that on Reddit too! I think I broke the "not enough wows" rule on r/shibe a hundred years ago and lost the coin toss but I banned myself before any of you suckers could have the satisfaction >:) at least that's how I remember it

Another great feature of postmill is that mods can ban themselves from their own forums.

It'd be a good mascot tho
devtesla wrote
Yea that's a feature of the software we use. We might change it in the future, but right now I don't think we'll be making mod decisions we don't want public.
Postmill was built for leftists over at raddle, who were angry at various reddit dramas, so all mod actions are public and mods can't add and remove other mods. They hold votes for the latter, and depending on the results the admins go and make the change.
It's kind of weird but I think it's fine. If you need to add a mod to your forum just ask one of us admins.

i am fine with non-material (just kidding) but get ready for a large roast! your /f/memer skin doesnt fulfill your ultra utilitarian needs and infact works counter to reader accessibilty, usability, and eyepleasingness and is therefore unable to display the lotsa information that you so desperately need.
reasons: the shadows make each letter harder to read (anti-eye design) and rendering this additional text takes up valuable bytes which means that everyone has to load more and pay more for data costs (anti worker design?). similar issues are to be found in the lack of contrast on text and their background, e.g. the buttons 'hot', 'new', etc buttons which feature deep green text on dark blue shadow on a cornflower blue >> thats just too much man! you also use 8 different colours that dont really work together. In this extremely mean rant/criteque, i havent done any scientific methods of analysis unfortunately because i am v. lazy, but try looking at saturation differences, colour blindness tests (the raddle banner is green on green for protanpla blindness), and color contrast tests (the raddle banner and the aformentioned 'hot' types have a contrast ratio of 1.44:1 and 2.97:1 respectively, which doesn't pass any requirements, even as i ignore the shadows that would make it even worse).
so the beautiful thing about material design (while made by trashman boogle co) is that it takes these issues out of your hands through a simple and beautiful design langauge, where you end up with a webpage that is accessible, readable, and doesnt look like ass. thankyou for listening to my speech. i think on raddle we might need to take some direct action to make ugly forums more accessible thanks as well.
