Idea for experiment: mail to fediverse?

@selfhosted

My ambition: having people writing to “username @ domain dot ext” and mail content goes into public, or private, on fediverse “handle @ domain . ext”.

Someone already did it? Pros and cons? Disadvantages are more than benefits?

I heard about a trick called “mail2mastodon” but before doing deeper research I first wanted to understand how the effort is, and if it’s worth.

              His name is Lindsey Graham and all you have to do is look up his name and ‘racist’. It’s not your fault. As you said, you didn’t know who he is. No harm, no foul. I’ll put up with a lot of bullshit from a lot of people, but I just have no tolerance for racists. Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard from people who didn’t choose their skin color either. Former president LBJ, who had his own issues with racism, said something that will stand the test of time:

              “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

                Ah, I’ve purposefully been ignoring US since trump got in. My ignorance isn’t an excuse so my bad.

                My dad moved to another country on the other side of the earth… Covid is bad, made from baby fetus and will kill me if I get the vaccine… Supports trump, supports Russia, etc, etc, etc. Believes the earth is flat too. He’s a Canadian living in Asia. He’s the last fucking person who should have an opinion on this shit… I still call him, he’s my dad, I just hang up on him when he gets going. For that reason and more, I try to avoid most of what’s going on down there. I just see red. 7 vaccines in and I’m not dead yet. Wanted the wife to let me tell him that we were recruited to “help make the vaccine” for Canadians but she said it’s too far…

                Anyway, rant over. My bad and I’m sorry. Will be more careful going forward.

        could be however you’re making the posts is configured to default to NSFW? 🤷‍♀️ I don’t know what platform you’re using, but based on the tags I assume Mastodon?

          @dandelion I’ll check my app’s settings then. Maybe it’s something wrong in them. I’ll adjust it, if so. Thanks for warnings (when many people say there’s something wrong, it’s the case to check our setup)

            much luck! I wish I was able to help more, but I don’t use Mastodon and I’m not too familiar with this issue unfortunately 😞
