An efficient ActivityPub Server, for small installs with multiple domains
About Takahē
Takahē is an ActivityPub server focused on microblogging, much like Mastodon,
-Pleroma, and others. Our goals are:
Allowing multiple domains on the same server (“virtual hosting”)
Efficient, stable background tasks via asynchronous state machines
A default fast, low-JavaScript web interface
Mastodon Client API compatibility (eventually!)
Why start another server?
The main motivation was to prove two things - that virtual hosting of multiple
-domains on a single ActivityPub server was possible (so you don’t need
-to run a whole new server for every person or organisation that brings their
-own domain), and to explore the use of Python’s asynchronous libraries to
-speed up the large amount of background work ActivityPub involves.
Fortunately, both of those have proved themselves to work well in the initial
-build-out phase, and so now development is focused towards a small, reliable,
-stable release.
While we do not expect to grow as large and featureful as Mastodon, the goal
-is to provide a smaller, lighter-weight server that is useful for small- to
-medium-size instances. The architecture we’ve chosen is deliberately easy to
-run and maintain but will not scale to a large install, and that’s fine.
More Insight
Takahē is, so far, mostly authored by Andrew Godwin,
-and you can read more about its development, choices made, and progress via
-my blog posts.
The Takahē
The Takahē bird, after which this project is named, is a
-flightless bird from Aotearoa New Zealand -
-once thought extinct, but in recent decades they were rediscovered and have
-been the subject of a successful breeding and reintroduction programme.
If you’d like to donate to the ongoing efforts to establish a healthy
-population and expansion into new areas, you can give money through the
-New Zealand Nature Fund.
-The Takahē project maintains a regular monthly donation to the programme.

An efficient ActivityPub Server, for small installs with multiple domains
It’s currently in an beta state, meaning most things work (and it will talk
+ActivityPub to Mastodon and other servers), but there’s still some
+polish and features left to add.
While it’s always nice to have more Fediverse software, we have some specific
+feature goals that we think makes Takahē a great choice of server software:
Multiple domain support, allowing you to host as many domains as you like
+on a single running instance.
Multiple identity support, allowing users to represent themselves in
+as many different ways as they want.
Easy deployment and maintenance, so you can focus on looking after your
+community rather than trying to wrangle with the software.
Mastodon Client API compatible, so users can use their favourite client
+apps just as they would with Mastodon or other compatible servers.
For a full set of features, including what we’re still working on,
+see our features page, as
+well as our compatability notes
+for clients and other servers.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.

You can find their contact details here: https://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section “HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?” below.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that any material available on or through the Site infringes upon any copyright you own or control, please immediately notify our Designated Copyright Agent using the contact information provided below (a “Notification”). A copy of your Notification will be sent to the person who posted or stored the material addressed in the Notification. Please be advised that pursuant to federal law you may be held liable for damages if you make material misrepresentations in a Notification. Thus, if you are not sure that material located on or linked to by the Site infringes your copyright, you should consider first contacting an attorney.
All Notifications should meet the requirements of DMCA 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) and include the following information: (1) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the Site are covered by the Notification, a representative list of such works on the Site; (3) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material; (4) information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address at which the complaining party may be contacted; (5) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (6) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed upon.
Counter Notification
If you believe your own copyrighted material has been removed from the Site as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter notification to our Designated Copyright Agent using the contact information provided below (a “Counter Notification”). To be an effective Counter Notification under the DMCA, your Counter Notification must include substantially the following: (1) identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled; (2) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in which your address is located, or if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we are located; (3) a statement that you will accept service of process from the party that filed the Notification or the party’s agent; (4) your name, address, and telephone number; (5) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material in question was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and (6) your physical or electronic signature.
If you send us a valid, written Counter Notification meeting the requirements described above, we will restore your removed or disabled material, unless we first receive notice from the party filing the Notification informing us that such party has filed a court action to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the material in question. Please note that if you materially misrepresent that the disabled or removed content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees. Filing a false Counter Notification constitutes perjury.
