        <p>Iceshrimp is "microblogging" social networking software that connects over <a href="https://activitypub.rocks">ActivityPub</a> to federate over the internet with other AP-based software and instances in the world such as <a href="https://joinmastodon.org">Mastodon</a>. Iceshrimp mostly follows the footsteps of <a href="https://misskey-hub.net">Misskey</a>, and supports most features that Misskey and other software chooses to implement - Quote posts, Emoji reactions and all.</p>
        <p>We have a sibling <a href="https://joinsharkey.org">Sharkey</a> instance running over at <a href="https://booping.synth.download">booping.synth.download</a> if a full Misskey based experience is more your speed.</p>

        <p>Currently, the built in Iceshrimp.NET frontend is pretty unfinished and not very usable for daily usage. We provide other frontends that give better usage for use with Iceshrimp.

                <b>Suspending</b> instances that consists of having communities/a majority of users who are either entirely horrible users or heavily radiates "Bad Vibes", including those that includes users who own opinions that we don't all necessarily agree with or could cause harm to others
            </li>
            <li>
                <b>Suspending</b> instances that purposefully modifies federation in malicious ways (e.g. ignoring deletes, converting non-public posts to public on their end)
            </li>
