Mastodon users would also be horrified to see their replies getting heavily downvoted in danbooru. Danbooru is ruthless and brutal when it comes to silly comments :P

I'm not even joking about the comments getting downvoted, I just said "maricup" in a post of glasses Mima holding a cup with Marisa's face on it and I got -3 points as of writing https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/493392#comment_2347374

Yeah, but it's only limited to images from this site, which is useless because we can't upload images here... I was hoping we could use data URIs which would give us like 25kb file size limit (even lower if you add more text to the post body)

Reply to the postmill running here is pretty different than on raddle by eyrie

Yeah it's based on an older version. Forums for example can have CSS made by normal users instead of only those approved by admins. This got removed in later versions due to the maintenance tax involved. Another removed featured that jstpst still has is the ability for forum moderators to edit any submission in their forum (now only admins can do that)

Reply to comment by cute_spider in How many units do you take on your 3rd year of college by nitori

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

Reply to comment by emma in Email as a way to federate stuff is so slept on by nitori

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 :)
