        <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>

            <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)
