Hi everyone at BSD Cafe,
I’d like to start by thanking everyone for being part of this community - your presence and support truly mean a lot!
This message will appear across all my BSD Cafe social accounts, as I’d like to make sure it reaches everyone. Apologies for the duplication, but I genuinely believe it’s important.

Lately, there have been some discussions and questions surrounding content moderation on our instance, and I wanted to take a moment to offer some clarity and reaffirm the spirit of our community.

As you know, BSD Cafe was founded as a space primarily focused on technology, with a special place for *BSD and open source. More importantly, though, I want it to be a positive, welcoming, and constructive place for everyone. Our community guidelines, especially principles like "Promote Positivity" and "Be Kind," are central to this vision.
I've seen questions arise, sometimes involving accusations of political censorship from different perspectives, regarding why certain posts might be moderated. I want to be very clear on this: My moderation approach focuses primarily on the tone and manner of communication, not the specific topic itself.
I don't intervene simply because a post discusses politics, a particular tech company, or any potentially divisive subject. I do step in when a post, regardless of the topic or the viewpoint being expressed, adopts a tone that is:
* Provocative or intentionally confrontational.
* Aggressive or disrespectful towards other users or groups.
* Overly negative without constructive intent.
* Contrary to our core principles of kindness and mutual respect.
This standard applies equally to everyone and every "side." If someone were to post something like "Users of X software are idiots," I would address that just as readily as any other topic presented in a hostile way, even if I personally dislike software X.
The goal isn't to "censor" opinions, but to preserve an environment where discussions, even critical ones, can happen civilly and respectfully, without descending into flame wars or personal attacks. We aim to be a space that is pro-constructive dialogue and pro-positivity, not anti-anyone.
BSD Cafe is our shared digital home. Let's continue working together to keep it a pleasant and rewarding place where we can share ideas, learn, and connect over our shared passions (tech and beyond!), feeling comfortable and respected.

Thank you sincerely for your understanding and for everything you contribute to making BSD Cafe a special community!
Let's keep building this positive space together.

ソフトウェアエンジニア向けのフェディバースサービスHackers' Pubをご存知でしょうか？私たちが特に大切にしているのは、他のプラットフォームとは少し異なる行動規範です。

私たちは現実社会の不平等がオンライン空間にも反映されることを認識しています。そのため、「すべての人を同じように扱う」という表面的な中立性ではなく、構造的不平等に積極的に対応する姿勢を明確にしています。このアプローチの一環として、差別的発言と差別に対抗する発言を区別しています。これにより、差別への批判まで同列に扱ってしまう「両極端主義」の落とし穴を避けられると考えています。

技術コミュニティでよく見られる問題として、特定の技術選択への批判や技術レベルによる階層化があります。「これも知らないの？」という態度は学びを阻害するだけです。私たちは初心者も経験者も同じく尊重される環境づくりを重視しています。

また、フェディバースの核心的価値としてプライバシーがありますが、Hackers' Pubでは特に匿名性の権利を強調しています。他者の素性を特定しようとする行為や、匿名であることを理由とした差別を禁止することで、安心して参加できる場を目指しています。

こうした行動規範自体も完璧ではなく、コミュニティとともに進化するものだと考えています。すべてのメンバーが改善案を提案できる仕組みを整えることで、より良い環境を共に創っていきたいと思います。

詳細はHackers' Pubの行動規範をご覧ください。フェディバースでより健全な技術コミュニティを一緒に育てていきませんか？

※Hackers' Pubは現在招待制となっています。ご興味のある方はコメントや私（@hongminhee洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee)）へのDMでメールアドレスをお知らせください。

In February 2025, we celebrated 10 years of PyCon Namibia! 🎉 Developers from around the world joined us to learn, share, and grow in the open-source community.

Since 2015, PyCon Namibia has connected local programmers with global opportunities, helping many advance their careers and contribute to Namibia’s growing tech scene.

Check out my latest article reflecting on this milestone and staty tune for the next one.
