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！

The last day in Europe. Heading to the Berlin Brandenburg Airport.

Rome wasn't built in a day, so for now, it would be great to have a Social Web dev room at the @fossforall or @COSCUP, just like there was at @fosdem.

One of the milestones that must be achieved before releasing Hollo 1.0.0 is supporting the ActivityPub C2S API, which in turn depends on ActivityPub C2S support in Fedify—also a major milestone for that project.

@liaizon @silverpill I think @Bonfire's groups proposal (https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/why-community-matters-groups-as-the-next-step-for-the-fediverse/) covers the topic pretty thoroughly. Not sure if they've already done any spec work, but if anyone is building something like this I'd recommend coordinating with them.

Yesterday I've been social for a couple of hours and coupled with the unexpected -6 Celsius icy trek I had to take due to unforced public transport mishap, today I'm exhausted and I can barely focus on anything requiring any mental work. :(

Still I got to meet a bunch of cool people and bored them with talk about my passion project, so all's good. :)

Thank you @liaizon for organizing the meetup! <3

Hung out with @thisismissem and @by_caballero today. It's really exciting to meet people on the fediverse in person!

It was great to see fantastic people at @offline today, and thank you for listening my talk! If you'd like to get my deck, here it is: Fedify: Building ActivityPub servers without the pain.

Huge thanks @liaizon for organizing this event!

Hope to see "you" soon!

Arrived in @offline and met @liaizon here. Really a great place!

Heading to @offline now.

It's super cold in Berlin right now, so instead of going out to a restaurant, @2chanhaeng and I just ordered tacos to our place through Uber Eats.

I gave up on this idea because some fedi software don’t like shared inboxes being on different domain than the actor but the worse thing is lots of fedi backends still don't respect /.well-known/host-meta

I want to rework this again so it would use different domains for AP urls so I could merge all my (single-user) Pleroma instances into one

The X offices being raided has nothing to do with me being in Paris this week. Thank you for your attention to this matter. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce3ex92557jo

The internet at this place is ridiculously slow. 😩

Just arrived at the Airbnb.

I could use a little help getting the word out about this little #fediverse themed meetup at @offline I am organizing TOMORROW with @hongminhee! I know there are many fedi (probably dev oriented) people in #Berlin who didn't make it all the way to brussels this last week and could use a little dose of stimuli, so if you know anyone who you think would enjoy please pass on the word or tag them here.

@liaizon It is so cold here! 😱

not to derail all the excitement about #FOSDEM because I indeed had a very good time™ but god damn the ratio of white amab people was way too high (I say as a white amab person from the us of fascism)

Just arrived in Berlin Brandenburg Airport!

@thisismissem Okay, I will be careful. Thanks! Would you come @offline tomorrow?

@_elena I'm so honored that she liked the Fedify stickers! 🥰

@jnkrtech Yeah, I feel the same way. I'd love to have the Lisp experience of being able to extend the language itself in a statically typed language, but it doesn't seem easy to do just yet!

Waiting for my flight to Berlin at Brussels Airport now.

@jnkrtech Yeah, that's exactly the reason!

日本(일본)의 TypeScript 컨퍼런스인 TSKaigi 2026이 5月(월) 22日(일)(金(금))–23日(일)(土(토))에 東京(도쿄)에서 開催(개최)된다고 합니다. 함께 가실 韓國(한국) 분 계실까요?

一旦(일단) 저랑 @2chanhaeng 님하고 @kodingwarrior 님이 같이 가실 것 같습니다.

What a whirlwind 72 hours in #Brussels for #FOSDEM! Everyone I met has been working so so hard to build technology explicitly trying to break out of a broken system of corporate hegemony. There were so many different fields present here but I primarily focused on the #fediverse track.

My trip started off with getting to spend most of the first day hanging out with @hongminhee and @2chanhaeng, and discussing how our various cultures differed and aligned. How our social upbringings brought us to where we are. And how the politics of inclusively and multiculturalism are at the center of many of the technologies we care about. Then randomly seeing this fediverse/peertube news on live French tv while eating shawarma at an Iranian shop really jumpstarted the experiance.
