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 @npub1tlf…wz08, an ActivityPub server framework in TypeScript, funded by @[email protected]. I'm also the creator of @npub1mz3…tpw7, a single-user ActivityPub microblog; @npub1sql…0z0c, 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!

An interview with @[email protected] from @npub1ycs…mpyc: [*FediMod FIRES on building better and decentralised social media applications*][1] (by @npub16js…55yf).
> Probably the biggest thing that I’ve learned over the years of the Fediverse is that it depends almost entirely on volunteer labour. There are a few people that are paid full time to work on the Fediverse. But to actually get the things that you need, it very much largely depends on volunteer labour, because projects are either chasing funding through grants or they're chasing funding through their nations. And those demands can often be at odds with what people overall need or want.
>
> So that's probably the biggest learning from the Fediverse that I have: a lot of it is just run and funded by individuals and volunteers, which often means that it doesn't move as fast as more commercial operations.

If the track is accepted, would you be interested in coming to Taipei (Aug 8–9) to give a talk?

I'm writing this in English.
Not because English is my first language—it isn't. I'm writing this in English because if I wrote it in Korean, the people I'm addressing would run it through an outdated translator, misread it, and respond to something I never said. The responsibility for that mistranslation would fall on me. It always does.
This is the thing [Eugen Rochko's post][1] misses, despite its good intentions.
@npub1vl7…f6g0 argues that LLMs are no substitute for human translators, and that people who think otherwise don't actually rely on translation. He's right about some of this. A machine-translated novel is not the same as one rendered by a skilled human translator. But the argument rests on a premise that only makes sense from a certain position: that translation is primarily about *quality*, about the aesthetic experience of reading literature in another language.
For many of us, translation is first about *access*.
The professional translation market doesn't scale to cover everything. It never has. What gets translated—and into which languages—follows the logic of cultural hegemony. Works from dominant Western languages flow outward, translated into everything. Works from East Asian languages trickle in, selectively, slowly, on someone else's schedule. The asymmetry isn't incidental; it's structural.
@npub1vl7…f6g0 notes, fairly, that machine translation existed decades before LLMs. But this is only half the story, and which half matters depends entirely on which languages you're talking about. European language pairs were reasonably serviceable with older tools. Korean–English, Japanese–English, Chinese–English? Genuinely usable translation for these pairs arrived with the LLM era. Treating “machine translation” as a monolithic technology with a uniform history erases the experience of everyone whose language sits far from the Indo-European center.
There's also something uncomfortable in the framing of the button-press thought experiment: “I would erase LLMs even if it took machine translation with it.” For someone whose language has always been peripheral, that button looks very different. It's not an abstract philosophical position; it's a statement about whose access to information is expendable.
I want to be clear: none of this is an argument that LLMs are good, or that the harms @npub1vl7…f6g0 describes aren't real. They are. But a critique of AI doesn't become more universal by ignoring whose languages have always been on the margins. If anything, a serious critique of AI's political economy should be *more* attentive to those asymmetries, not less.
The fact that I'm writing this in English, carefully, so it won't be misread—that's not incidental to my argument. That *is* my argument.

I've been saying for a while that we need something like FediCon in East Asia. A dedicated conference is still a stretch, but I've been thinking about a smaller step:
@npub1gha…xtmt 2026 (Taipei, Aug 8–9) is accepting proposals for community tracks. It might be worth trying to open a *Social Web track* there—something in the spirit of the Social Web devroom at FOSDEM.
Nothing is decided yet, but if you're working on #ActivityPub, the #fediverse, or anything in the social web space and might be interested in speaking (or co-organizing), I'd love to hear from you.

That might be the case for European languages. But for distant language pairs like English → Korean, LLM-based translation is necessary. This is especially true for deep discussions like in @npub1j8v…ld5q's writing.

Been thinking a lot about @[email protected]'s recent post on FLOSS and LLM training. The frustration with AI companies is spot on, but I wonder if there's a different strategic path. Instead of withdrawal, what if this is our GPL moment for AI—a chance to evolve copyleft to cover training? Tried to work through the idea here: [<cite>Histomat of F/OSS: We should reclaim LLMs, not reject them</cite>][1].

Found this helpful resource by Ben Boyter (@npub1cg2…3z96): a collection of sequence diagrams explaining how #ActivityPub/#WebFinger works in practice—covering post creation, follows, boosts, deletions, and user migration.
If you're trying to implement ActivityPub, the spec can be frustratingly vague, and different servers do things differently. This aims to be a “clean room” reference for getting federation right.

Been thinking about [fediverse wiki] after @npub146w…6lpm mentioned it today. Some ideas:
- Cross-instance page linking: `[[Page [email protected]]]`
- Edit pages on other instances with your home account
- Fork pages across instances: `[[[email protected]]]` → `[[[email protected]]]`, sharing edit history up to the fork point
* Merge forked pages later when needed
The fork/merge model feels natural for federated collaboration. Thoughts?

Excited to share some great news from the #creative community! [Oeee Cafe], a fantastic [oekaki] #drawing platform, just added #ActivityPub support today. This means all the amazing artwork being created there can now be shared and discovered across the #fediverse, which is such a wonderful step toward connecting creative communities.
Big shoutout to my friend @npub19x9…ragr for building this platform and bringing it to the fediverse. It's always inspiring to see developers creating spaces for artists and then opening them up to the broader federated community. If you're into digital art or just appreciate seeing creative work, definitely worth checking out what people are sharing from Oeee Cafe on your timeline now. You can find me there at @npub1lu5…e8eg if you want to connect!

We spent the day contributing to various #fediverse open source projects including @npub1tlf…wz08, @npub1mz3…tpw7, and [Hackers' Pub]. It was fantastic to see the community come together to build and improve tools for the decentralized social web.
Our participants made some great contributions, and you can read all about what we accomplished in [today's blog post].

Came across [this thoughtful post](https://socialbc.ca/@rainer/114536463416519694) on the fediverse about the need for ActivityPub-based platforms for public institutions.
This resonates deeply for South Korea too. 🇰🇷 Our public services shouldn't depend on centralized platforms like Naver, Kakao, or Instagram for critical communications.
Projects like @npub1tlf…wz08 and @npub1sql…0z0c could enable our government agencies to build ActivityPub-native services with minimal effort—imagine following <ruby lang="ko">災難安全文字<rp>(</rp><rt>재난안전문자</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby> (emergency alerts) or local traffic updates directly in your fediverse timeline!
Not just convenient, but a matter of information sovereignty. What government communications would you want to follow in the fediverse?

2025-05-18 20:06:54 UTC

Just received word that @npub1tlf…wz08 wasn't selected for @npub1n8y…l96n's Open Call this round. While disappointing, I understand the competition was fierce with many worthy projects seeking limited funding.
The journey continues though—#Fedify development will move forward at its own pace. Thanks to everyone who's shown interest and support for this project so far. Building tools for the #fediverse remains important work, and I'm committed to seeing it through.
If you know of other funding opportunities that might be a good fit for open source #ActivityPub tools, I'm all ears.

2025-04-21 20:11:53 UTC

I've been reflecting lately on projects like @npub1tlf…wz08, @npub1mz3…tpw7, and @[email protected]. Sometimes I wonder if I'm solving problems that very few people actually need solved. How many developers truly want to build their own #ActivityPub server from scratch?
It feels a bit like inventing shoes that let people walk on their hands all day. Would there be a viable market? How many would actually buy them?
That's the sense I get with these projects. They do have users who find them tremendously valuable, but the total user base is inherently limited. The tools serve an important function for a small audience of specialized developers.
There are moments when my motivation wavers. When the user community consists of just a handful of enthusiastic supporters, it's sometimes difficult to maintain momentum and justify the ongoing investment of time and energy.
And yet, there's something meaningful about creating specialized tools that solve complex problems well, even if they're only used by a few. Perhaps that's enough.

I'm using [Hollo](https://docs.hollo.social/), and it supports both Markdown and raw HTML in the post contents!

As far as I know, names cannot have any HTML… 🤔

Oh, also there are another terms like 現實 (hyeonsil; “reality”) or 現生 (hyeonsaeng; “real life”) in Korean.

There are terms like 온 (on) and 오프 (opeu) which are derived from English *online* and *offline*, but no exactly same word like *meatspace* in Korean as far as I know.

Hello @npub1u84…s78a,
I wanted to share some feedback on the documentation provided in the [*Highlighting Journalism on Mastodon*](https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/highlighting-journalism-on-mastodon/) blog post.
Specifically, in [*The technical*](https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/highlighting-journalism-on-mastodon/#the-technical) section, the example code for the `fediverse:creator` meta tag is given as:
```
<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="@npub1vl7…f6g0" />
```
Based on my testing (and that of others), Mastodon doesn't seem to recognize the creator link correctly when the leading `@` is present in the `content` attribute. It only works when the `@` is removed, like this:
```
<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="[email protected]" />
```
Following the blog's example directly led to some wasted time figuring out why it wasn't working. It would be great if either the example in the blog post could be corrected to reflect the current requirement, or if Mastodon's parser could be made more flexible to accept the handle with or without the leading `@`.
Appreciate all you do for #Mastodon!

I talked about #ActivityPub and #Fedify on @npub10rc…elu9's wonderful podcast, [Software Sessions]. I'm embarrassed by my poor English, but if you're interested, please listen!

It's because hollo.social has no favicon, I guess?

@npub1z2k…7409 Currently, #BotKit supports the following 7 types of event handlers (see attached image):
- `onFollow`
- `onUnfollow`
- `onAcceptFollow`
- `onRejectFollow`
- `onMention`
- `onReply`
- `onMessage`
What else can you think of as event handlers?

@npub1xsv…q6he I'm trying to fetch Activity Streams objects from pixelfed.social, but it always respond with an HTML even if I make a request with `Accept: application/activity+json`. Am I wrong something?
```
$ curl -H 'Accept: application/activity+json' https://pixelfed.social/users/dansup
<!DOCTYPE html>
