Reading about #webmentions… the 2d “famous” post I stumble across is an ode to spam: https://adactio.com/journal/6469

What's crazier is that escorts site actually set up Webmentions and wrote a real blog post about it! They appear to be using @adactio's post to test it. https://www.midlandsmaidens-escorts.com/post-pinger/

  Ah, OK, thanks. It’s just that so far everything I read makes a mention of, or use, a third party service.

  @ubiquitic There's nothing third party about the webmention spec! There are some services that will collect webmentions for you, but you can also receive them directly yourself!

  What’s awesome? I still don’t get why I should be adding a third party (same dependency pb as Disqus) when my blog handles trackbacks alone.
