The obvious choice for ActivityPub’s birthday would be the 23rd of January 2018 - the day it was annointed as a W3C recommendation. That doesn’t seem quite right though - its not as if the spec came into existence in any sense upon that date. In fact, Mastodon implemented it before thne.

There are several possible dates you might pick, but for me it will always be September 5th 2014 - when I committed the first sketch of a specification I called ActivityPump and pushed it to Github

It wouldn’t be until November that I actually submitted (a revised and enhanced version of) that draft to the working group, but even then I had the very nucleus of the specification written down.

Happy 10th birthday, ActivityPub. 🍰

Akkoma just added the tiny quality-of-life feature I never knew I needed

I feel it might be suboptimal/not intentional that my route to foo.github.io is going via Singapore

Hello fellow admins!

It would help users migrating from queer.af if you would temporarily add the following to /etc/hosts:

65.108.48.233	queer.af

The domain was suspended this morning without warning.

For users attempting to migrate, there’s an alias domain for the UI setup at: https://queer-af.alioth.systems

Thank you everyone for flying queer.af; sorry for the abrupt end, but it was out of my control, and you were all (hopefully) aware of this possibility anwyay.
