Hi, I am one of the authors of Cactus Comments.

Making Cactus Comments work without javascript would require a backend server. Right now, the frontend is actually just a special-purpose Matrix client that interacts directly with Matrix homeservers.

Hello, thanks for taking the time to reply. Isn't the matrix.org homeserver already a backend HTTP server? I'm unfamiliar with the matrix protocol, but isn't there a way to POST to homeserver directly so that it can authenticate and confirm with the user they intend to post this message?
