I want to publicly thank @dch
The FreeBSD port of littleFedi was already ready at release time, and it’s really well done.
One of the peculiarities of littleFedi is that it was developed and tested first on the BSDs, then on illumos, and only later on Linux.
The first public instance, my own @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it account, runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W with NetBSD.
I don’t think many social platforms have started out on NetBSD in recent years.

@stefano@bsd.cafe I had a look and saw that you don't use any libraries for the ActivityPub logic. As someone that works on such a library for Go, may I ask why? 
@mariusor @dch @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it littleFedi was originally built with its own federation protocol, not ActivityPub. ActivityPub was implemented later, simply by adapting its previous federation mechanism, which was then partially brought back in littleMesh. No specific reasons against the existing libraries.
