     ActivityPub Client-to-Server API lets you specify any arbitrary date as as the “published” value, which the backend then interprets as the “created_at” value for a status.

     This is not necessarily wrong, but you can do some pretty goofy stuff.

     @sean @Spaghettimon at the end of the day you kind of have to trust the remote server on this.

     That being said, it is kinda useful for data conversion. Like, if I wanted to pull in old posts from somewhere else and stitch it together on some kind of ActivityPub blog, the dates could match the original creation dates.

     In fact, I’ve been doing this with videos hosted on VidCommons. I threw an old John Wayne movie on there that’s like 100 years old, and the timestamp reflects the actual day the movie came out. Other ActivityPub servers reflect this.

     @KayFaraday @Moon Yes, with some caveats. Posting currently requires objects to be wrapped in a Create activity, and you'd better remember to include a "published" field to represent a date!
     
     Current stable fails to create a status, and upstream develop allows creation, but timestamp is basically NaN due to being invalid.
     
     Anyway, I'm currently experimenting to see what building a frontend with just C2S even potentially looks like.

     @sean @Moon @Spaghettimon does latest Pleroma support AP C2S then?

     @sean Also the full date and time display is confused, look at the time zone information: "Wed, 13 Mar 1602 22:05:18 -0456"

     @sean Ha ha, it says "426 years ago" on Friendica. 🤦♂️
     
     We added literal leap years.

     can you also edit with a date older than the post date?

     Well, custom dates even make sense in some cases, e.g. to point to the date of actual creation of an 108 years old Peertube Video.

     @tobi Yeah, I did that. I'm working on converting all of VidCommons to accurately reflect publishing dates.

     Nevermind that, this proves that the Fediverse is the original social network.
