People are asking me to implement webmentions, and since I don't have a strong opinion on it (it would not be hard to implement), here's another poll: https://www.strawpoll.me/15428538
Webmentions are like blog pingbacks, essentially, if you remember those.
Pro:
- Blog/website authors know when their stuff is discussed on Mastodon
- More links towards Mastodon from outside
Contra:
- You may not want blog/website authors to know that you are discussing their stuff, lol
Are you fucking kidding
@Gargron hahahaha fuck

@Gargron just toss a coin
@Gargron incredible
@Gargron Implement everything but leave it disabled?
@Gargron
Please halfly implement it
@Gargron It's now 81 to 81!!
@Gargron I feel like it would cause a large surface for harvesting, and would be counter-intuitive -- linking and @-ing should be two very seperate things. This conflates them.
@Gargron take the less stressful route and don't add it
@Gargron The community goes MEH
Ahahahaha yessss the wisdom of the masses speaks!
@Gargron "vote stuffing" for 500, alex
@Gargron ๐ sorry.
@Gargron Hahaha ๐๐คฃ

@Gargron As fun for it to see a tie vote, just cast a vote to slightly shift the balance.

@yookoala Dunno what's happening but you're posting double at the exact same time.
@Gargron App error? I'm posting from Mastalab.
@Gargron ๐คฃ๐คฃ well, are there more requested features that could be implemented for the same effort?
@Gargron Can't this be optional in some way (eg per instance or include a user opt out)?
If the problem is that *some* people don't want ping backs to their content, then surely being able to disable it is the correct policy?
