Hi, I’m trying to report an issue with the AP plugin regarding the `published` datetime being incorrect on posts that are manually “published” via the “Publish all posts” button.

### Example

[https://browser.pub/https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/ap/object/a8d6c23e6c428313efb9bf20efeb020c](https://browser.pub/https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/ap/object/a8d6c23e6c428313efb9bf20efeb020c)

### Expected behavior

`published` indicates the datetime the post was _originally_ published, i.e. the datetime visible locally in Discourse (2018).

### Actual behavior

`published` indicates the date the _AP resource_ was created, i.e. the datetime when the “Publish” button was clicked locally in Discourse (2026).
