  2. Back on my blog, I started a rolling list of WebMention blogs. I’ve not maintained that series, but this list started from that blog post series. I’ve marked a few in bold – these are specifically general-purpose conversation starters and topic ideas. A B C D E F G H I J K L M […]

  3. I blog, post, write, comment, maintain, or output content in so many spaces that I might actually miss some. Here is the list of everything (that I remembered while writing this post). I’m probably going to make updates after I publish this one. The Fantastic Site of Lord Matt, Super Geek That’s this blog you […]

  5. We live in the age of the “big” web. A web where a few tech giants control all our content. Well… Not all of it; just most. The web that the giants do not control is sometimes called the small web. The web that existed before big tech and that will exist after it too. […]

  6. It has been a while so I thought it was time to give you an update on OpenMentions.com.

    Just recently we saw the first spammy WebMention which kind of feels like a badge of honour. OpenMentions has made it to the point where the spammers take us seriously.

    We’ve expanded the topic list on the site which is good. I would like to see other sites taking up the OpenTopic cause and adding their topics to the web of places to WebMention for discovery.

    We’re seeing a steady stream of mentions now. Or we were. Elon Musk happened to Twitter and since then brid.gy has had far fewer mentions to send us. This is why we set up on Mastodon. As Mastodon is federated, discovery is happening at a smaller rate. This is probably a good thing as I am pretty sure that over half of the Twitter conversation was unaware that they were taking part in open-topic discovery.

    For now, Mastodon users might find it easier to ping OpenMentions rather than wait for discovery.

    I have some ideas for enhancements to the site. Mostly design based. I’ll keep you posted.
