Epiktistes

Epiktistes is my home in the Fediverse. It is an instance of Ktistec, a single-user ActivityPub server like Mastodon, but with fewer users and fewer commits. Here's my introduction (last updated early-2025).

Some things I regularly write about, organized by hashtag:

I also wrote some #pointfreeverse.

epiktistes runs on ktistec (still no README). the choice of crystal and sqlite has worked out really well. a small fully threaded conversation using a recursive query took 9.55ms to retrieve and render.
