Unfortunately next semester is still gonna be pretty heavy, at 24 units I think

The reason why I got such a heavy load is not even my fault, it's the university's fault because they decided all of a sudden to move our two electives (3 units each) from 4th year to 2nd year, but since we already finished 2nd year after the curriculum got revised we now have to take them in our 3rd year. And our 3rd year already have its own two electives for its 2nd semester

Well at least we will only have to take like 9 units for our 4th year... So all of that time can be spent focusing on the thesis

I think Mastodon and other fediverse servers already require that your ISP allows outgoing email, since there would be no way for you to send your password reset or account verification emails... Or are those kind of automated emails exempted from ISP restrictions? And deliverability to providers like Gmail is not a big deal to me IMO either, if say Raddle can suddenly talk with people from riseup.net for example, that's a big win to me. The spam filter problem could probably also be circumvented by requiring some authentication before you can talk to the Postmill instance, and being picky on what domains you'd allow. I don't really imagine anyone opening up their Postmill to like everyone on email, that's just going to be PITA. Instead it would be more like a whitelist

I do have to admit I haven't thought much about the dev ecosystem though, or how archives would be accessed (but personally I just access my mailing list archives from the web than Usenet, and this kind of use would still work fine for this theoretical email-powered Postmill because again, the forums are the mailing lists, and all the posts you see are behind the scenes what the archives are returning)...

Anyway you're the actual dev here who has way more experience doing server shit than me so maybe I'm just spouting some BS lol, so I will just defer to your wisdom :)

I like being bored. What I don't like is the eventual realization that you can't write down that catchy music you've come up in your mind while in boredom. Or how you were able to write in your head a really good beginning and ending to your story but now have no idea how to write the middle. :P

The verified checkmarks always being on top of a thread was really annoying for me. They also keep switching me to the algorithm-ridden "For You" feed despite me setting it to just "Following". It was also clear that they are not a safe space for trans people when they did nothing on my report on a hate art harassing a 2hu artist who drew a Marisa with a trans flag on the background. Btw that hate artist was the one who keep posting racist shit like Confederate Reimu in r/touhou. My fellow mods banned him but not indef, which was disappointing. Then there's r/2hujerk which still happily hosts his art. "Let's be racist to own the r/touhou libs", I guess

The last straw for me was when even my Filipino leftist friends were also parroting bullshit patsoc narrative. They're blinded by their fanatic worship of the so-called "working class". I knew from that moment that there's nothing redeeming for me from that platform now
