I was thinking it might be cool to have an ActivityPub service that was all about lo-fi image posting, with conversion to <100kb format happening when you upload. Maybe it even provides a choice of "filters" so you can upload the pic with different types of compression, dithering, minimal color schemes, whatever. Could be a fork of Pixelfed, I suppose, but given Wake's point about its PHP foundation, it might be better to start from scratch.
