I think my favorite part of #IndieWeb is the ability to use interchangeable parts. I can post anywhere using a ton of external websites, or my own.

Not sure if you've heard of #IndieWeb, but it's that notion that you should be able to keep your own content in your control. Join the group and share your solutions to decentralize the web. https://indieweb.org/

Hi chaps, we may be able to save you a lot of effort, as we already have a set of open standards developed by the #indieweb community and standardised through w3c - micropub, webmention, websub and more in development with microsub too http://chat.indieweb.org for more

In the Beginning was the Website (desmondrivet.com)"Even if the entire IndieWeb consisted of a single personal website, it would still "work", in the sense that the owner of the website would be in control of their own content and would still be able to share that content with their friends"

@manton I’m still not quite sure why it wasn’t a good idea!
Two reasons:
1: The only data in the Pingback payload is two URLs. Wrapping this an an XML container that's also doing RPC is incredibly overkill for sending just two values. That's why Webmention went with form-encoded instead, like regular HTML forms, which is about the most compact way you can send two values.
2: Pingback never went far enough with the user experience of displaying them. At best, you'd see a snippet of the text near the link, which it turns out wasn't really that useful or contextual. Once social media started taking off, the interactions there became far richer than seeing the pingback excerpt, so people abandoned them. With Webmention, we're explicitly focusing on enabling the kind of rich interactions people do on social media instead. -
I've discovered that mf2py not only allows me to parse people's h-cards, but to parse my own website in unit testing to see if the renderer outputs stuff correctly. #IndieWeb has some unexpected benefits!
