洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee)

Hello! I'm Hong Minhee (洪 民憙), an open source software engineer in my late 30s, living in Seoul, Korea. I'm bisexual and non-binary (they/them), and an enthusiastic advocate of free/open source software and the fediverse.

I work full-time on @fedify, an ActivityPub server framework in TypeScript, funded by @sovtechfund. I'm also the creator of @hollo, a single-user ActivityPub microblog; @botkit, an ActivityPub bot framework; Hackers' Pub, a fediverse platform for software developers; and LogTape, a logging library for JavaScript and TypeScript.

I have a long interest in East Asian languages (CJK) and Unicode. I post mostly in English here, though occasionally in Japanese or in mixed-script Korean (國漢文混用體), a traditional writing style that interleaves Chinese characters with the native Korean alphabet. Wanting to write in that style was actually one of the reasons I joined the fediverse. Feel free to talk to me in English, Korean, Japanese, or even Literary Chinese!

#introduction

はじめまして！ソウル在住の30代後半のオープンソースソフトウェアエンジニア、洪 民憙（ホン・ミンヒ）と申します。バイセクシュアル（bisexual）・ノンバイナリー（non-binary）で、自由・オープンソースソフトウェア（F/OSS）とフェディバース（fediverse）の熱烈な支持者です。

STF（@sovtechfund）の支援を受け、TypeScript用ActivityPubサーバーフレームワーク「@fedify」の開発に専念しています。他にも、おひとり様向けのActivityPubマイクロブログ「@hollo」、ActivityPubボットフレームワーク「@botkit」、ソフトウェア開発者向けフェディバースプラットフォームHackers' Pub、JavaScript・TypeScript用ロギングライブラリLogTapeなどの制作者でもあります。

東アジア言語（いわゆるCJK）とUnicodeにも興味があります。このアカウントでは主に英語で投稿していますが、時々日本語や国漢文混用体（漢字ハングル混じり文）の韓国語でも書いています。実はこの文体で書きたくてフェディバースを始めた、という経緯もあります。日本語、英語、韓国語、漢文でも気軽に話しかけてください！

이제 정말로 이미지 업로드를 만들어야 하는데, 오브젝트 스토리지 세팅하기가 귀찮다…

흥겨울 흥(興)이라는 글자 때문인지 제한적인 의미가 되는 느낌도 있고요. 이를테면 “저는 노동권을 보장받지 못하는 노동자의 현실에 (감정적인) 관심이 있어요”를 일본어의 용례대로 “흥미가 있어요”라고 해버리면 ‘뭐야, 이 사이코패스는‘ 같은 인상을 줘 버릴 것 같단 말이죠.

#勉強ドン 【今日の作文】
한자어(漢字語)는 한일간의 공통적인 문화의 하나이며 이 공통점은 지금도 한자를 많이 쓰는 일본인들이 한국말을 공부하는 데 많이 도움이 된다. 하지만 한일간에 공통적으로 쓰이는 한자어 중에는 조금씩 뜻이나 사용 방법이 다른 단어도 있어 주의해야 한다.
예를 들면 흥미(興味/きょうみ)와 관심(関心/かんしん)도 그 중 하나다.
한국에서는 '나한테 관심 좀 가져'라든가 '저는 먹는 데 관심이 많아요' 같이 말하지만 일본에서는 関心 대신 興味를 더 많이 넓은 장면에서 사용한다.
왜냐하면 일본어 関心은 무언가에 대해 이성적, 논리적으로 관심을 가지고 있다는 뜻이며 감정적으로 관심이 있는 경우에는 興味를 사용하기 때문이다.
예를 들면 韓国に関心がある(한국에 関心이 있다)라고 하면 대한민국의 역사나 문화,정치 등에 대해 학문적인 관점에서 관심이 있는 느낌이고 韓国に興味がある(한국에 興味가 있다)라고 하면은 한국을 좋아해서, 호감이 있어서 관심이 있다는 느낌이다.
물론 일본인도 이런 차이를 정확하게 가리겨서 쓰고 있지는 않지만 関心이라는 말에는 조금 전문적인 느낌이 든다.

Is there a lint rule that you've always felt was missing? 🤔

@deadsuperhero @fedify

The developer of Fedify has built Hollo with it. This is intended as a single-user instance for microblogging.

github.com/fedify-dev/hollo

@deadsuperhero

The CEO from Ghost was at FOSDEM 2025 in Brussels earlier this month.

(I was there, too.)

Ghost is still using @fedify

Ghost even helps fund @hongminhee to work on @fedify .

He briefly talked about it at FOSDEM 2025. (It should be on video.)
.

The biggest example I’ve seen so far is probably Ghost, as they used Fedify in their initial development and implementation. I’m not sure if they’re still using it, or moved to something in-house, but it’s extremely interesting.

Is anyone building cool stuff with @fedify ? I’ve been curious about diving in after I learn JavaScript, I think it would be fun to make some simple #Fediverse apps. I’d love to see what other people are making with it.

Just released #Hollo 0.5.4 (ghcr.io/fedify-dev/hollo:0.5.4), 0.4.10 (ghcr.io/fedify-dev/hollo:0.4.10), and 0.3.9 (ghcr.io/fedify-dev/hollo:0.3.9), which fix interoperability issues with some software including @mitra. (Thanks for @silverpill's bug report.)

If you see this, means this scheduled post works 🤞

#MastoDev #PhanpySocialDev

Two new features are coming to #Fedify! Both have to do with controls over domain names:

1. Different domains for WebFinger handles and server URIs.
2. Canonical origin support to explicitly set your server’s authoritative domain

@fediversenews

@raphael Haha, that's fun fact. Thanks!

@reiver You're right, it started as an internet prank by 4chan. They wanted to trick people into thinking 👌 meant “white power.” It was meant to make liberals and the media look foolish for overreacting to a harmless symbol.

Unfortunately, the prank took a dark turn. Some right-wingers started using the gesture ironically, as a way to troll people. Then, some white supremacists actually adopted the symbol, giving it a real connection to hate.

So, while it began as a hoax, it has been used by some white supremacists to signal their hateful ideology. It's a complicated situation, and it's important to be aware of the potential for this symbol to be used to express hate, even if that wasn't the original intent.

Today I learned that the “okay” hand gesture 👌 has been co-opted by some as a hate symbol representing white supremacy. It's shocking to me that this common gesture could be turned into something so hateful…

i like how german translation of twitter-like apps literally conjugate english verbs as if they were german verbs

the prime example would be geliked as if the act of liking is some sort of "proper verb" lmao

@noim Haha, iOS Translate recognizes Korean as Dutch sometimes, I have no idea why though… 😂

By the way, it means: “Custom emojis, would it work well?”

아, 그런데 서버 타임존이 UTC라 올린 시각도 UTC로 보이네… 이것부터 고쳐야겠다.

오, 잘 보인다!

커스텀 繪文字(회문자), 잘 될까? 🤔

조금 다른 얘기이긴 하지만, 도라마 코리아는 經營陣(경영진)이 極右(극우)인 것으로도 알려져 있지요.

Who owns Bluesky? #Bluesky users demand straight answers from CEO Jay Graber on who owns the platform.

Just kidding. No they didn't. No one knows who owns Bluesky and the company isn't telling.

@annyeong For writing, I haven't noticed much of a difference from Sonnet 3.5 yet, and I've only been using it for a day, so I'll have to wait and see!

Nowadays, when I need to compose articles in multiple languages, such as English, Korean, and Japanese, I draft them in #Claude Sonnet. By providing the data that should be included in the content and the constraints, it produces a pretty good draft. #LLM is a language model, so it is quite good at writing—especially if you need to work with multiple languages.

Nice little feature in the IceShrimp.NET beta I found today. Most of the Forkey platforms have the concept of a "Drive" where all the media you've uploaded is contained.

In the drive, warnings have been added to any image that is missing ALT text. You can go through and easily add the missing ALT text right from this screen!

#AltText #IceShrimpNet

Just responded to some browser compatibility issues with #LogTape. Turns out bundling everything in one package creates headaches for Next.js and other browser environments.

For the next minor version, we're breaking things up:

• @logtape/logtape will be browser-friendly with zero compromises
• @logtape/file will handle filesystem operations
• Other specialized features will get their own packages

This should make LogTape work seamlessly across all environments while giving developers better control over what they include.
