<p>Experimental support for multiple users landed with Ktistec <a href="https://github.com/toddsundsted/ktistec/releases/tag/v2.4.15" rel="nofollow">release v2.4.15</a>. &quot;Experimental&quot; means that it works for me, but hasn&#x27;t seen enough testing for me to call it &quot;ready for production&quot;. With that said, it&#x27;s unlikely you&#x27;ll lose your data.</p><p>There are lots of intentional design decisions that fit my vision for Ktistec but may surprise you. Here they are:</p><p>Every user is an administrator. That doesn&#x27;t mean users have access to each other&#x27;s posts and data, but it does mean all users have access to the shared parts of the site—they can change the site description, for example—and they can add new users. So only add people you trust.</p><p>If you want to add another user, create an account for them and give them their username and password.  There is no self-registration. There are no invitations.</p><p>Beyond adding a user, there is no support for user management. You can&#x27;t even boot a user from your site. Users can delete themselves, however.</p><p>There is no support for content moderation. Only add people you trust.</p><p>TL;DR Multi-user support in Ktistec is suitable for small teams, families (biological or chosen), and your personal avatars. There are better tools for online communities.</p><p>Here&#x27;s the full set of changes:</p><p>Added</p><p>Add support for multiple user accounts.</p><p>Fixed</p><p>Hide attachments behind the summary.

<p>I’m proud to say that I (Evan) will be a keynote speaker at <a href="https://canada.wordcamp.org/2025/" rel="nofollow">WordCamp Canada 2025</a>. My talk, <a href="https://canada.wordcamp.org/2025/session/beyond-microblogging-wordpress-leads-the-way-in-long-form-text-on-the-social-web/" rel="nofollow">Beyond Microblogging: WordPress Leads the Way With Long-form Text on the Social Web</a> will cover the work that the SWF has done on <a href="https://socialwebfoundation/long-form-text/" rel="nofollow">long-form text</a> with our supporters WordPress, Ghost, Write.as, and others. I’m excited to have the discussion and point the way forward for a more integrated experience of blog posts, newspaper and magazine articles, and other texts on the social web.</p><p>WordCamp Canada has a focus on interoperability and open standards this year, with a number of great speakers talking about the Fediverse, feeds, and protocols. I’m really looking forward to the content and to talking to the WordCamp community about the opportunities for the social web.</p> <small class="notice" x-post-type-data="type=&#x27;Article&#x27; attributed_to=None"> Takahe has limited support for this type: <a href="https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/10/05/keynote-address-at-wordcamp-canada-2025/">See Original Article</a> </small>
