I think the difference is sorting. Articles are sorted by their activity with "Activity".

Articles are sorted by post date with "Articles".

I'm not sure about "Articles", but , if you're in "Activity, my understanding is that you can't be wearing any pants while posting.

Articles are listed in the order they were posted.

In Avtivity, they are ‘bumped to the top’ with every comment.

I don't know about their application on this website but maybe looking at other contexts will help. Maybe not. Articles: a, an, the. Activities: say, see, move, e.g.

Why is it that my comments get moved to Chat but the articles themselves stay in News?

I’d like to hijack this thread by asking for a feature request.. Right now I can show all posts to/from me. I’d like to be able to also only see
1) articles I post (no messages to/from me)
2) messages I post (without messages to me)

"I'm not sure about "Articles", but , if you're in "Activity, my understanding is that you can't be wearing any pants while posting.

You're still allowed to post in other areas sans clothes right? I'd hate to have to dress after all this time.

I know that John Robinson has been making a lot of changes to the forum, he was interrupted by this:
Prayer request: My Sister-in-law, Barbara Robinson has passed away

Please be patient about the changes.

Might as well take the opportunity to ask. How do you delete “pings”.

Does anyone keep getting threads from 2001? This happens to me every day.

And when you reach the end of the list of threads under the Brief tab, and click “show more articles”, the next page shows articles under the Comments tab.
