- Another year on an increasingly embattled and enshitified internet. The rising star of BlueSky has been somewhat tarnished as it becomes increasingly evident that its lack of decentralization and "big tent" approach has major governance shortcomings. So to anyone for whom decentralisation is more than a platitude it's gradually becoming clear that the fediverse and open web standards are the only genuine way forward.
-Epicyon is designed for the expected long term future of the ActivityPub protocol. Written in the most boring trend-avoiding way possible, with few dependencies, no database to get corrupted, suitable for running on old hardware at minimum cost, and definitely with no gratuitous "AI" features. In tough environments, it can also run from an onion or i2p address and use text mode browsers with no risk from javascript exploits. While the silicon valley titans are busy pumping out toxic sludge and noxious clouds of brain-rotting information pollution, the small and meek gain advantage. Epicyon has no intention of supporting AI but does support anachronistic browsers, text to speech synthesisors and real web standards.
-Epicyon can be downloaded as a gzipped file, or you can get the latest version from the git repo. For installation instructions see the main page. To upgrade an existing instance, make sure that you have the python3-cryptography package installed then do a git pull, chown and restart the daemon.
+ The open social web continues to evolve at a glacial pace, but at least this does make it fairly easy to keep up with. Web standards are still the best way to go, with other more adhoc ones running into difficulties. Anything which is too centralized or too under the control of a single company seems doomed. There is something to be said for being the last robust system standing after a bunch of hasty vibecoded crap has collapsed in a steaming heap. +Epicyon is designed for an anticipated glorious long term future of the ActivityPub protocol.
