+<p><strong>Iceshrimp</strong> is a decentralized and federated social networking service, implementing the <strong>ActivityPub</strong> standard.<br>
+It was forked from <del>Calckey</del> Firefish (itself a fork of Misskey) in mid-2023, to focus on stability, performance and usability instead of new features.</p>
