Subject: Format timestamps as UTC in ActivityStreams output. While using local times is legit... 
X-Git-Url: https://git.mxchange.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=da7c54023d5448c8e37554ebfd7ec1b255dee37e;p=quix0rs-gnu-social.git

Format timestamps as UTC in ActivityStreams output. While using local times is legit per spec, it's confusing to have it change around and confuses some clients that don't handle zones right.
