Re Webmentions Are Not Dying


In replay of https://www.ottorask.com/blog/webmentions-are-not-dying

I think the problem is not that webmentions are not used enough, but that people in general have still not left all the centralized walled gardens to build their personal web presences with which they could make better use of webmentions and comparable. I think the fediverse/ActivityPub side of things is a step towards the right direction, but I think it is too easy to “just get on Mastodon” and leave it at that, in terms of leaving the walled-gardens. And oh hey, you got me off my butt and to go and fix some things in my webmentions implementation before I could write this reply to you, so thanks. 😅

So you think that is only now thing? So in more time more people become decentralized users? I don’t know. I find difficult or confusing some mastodon part as web gui user (like follow from other server) but I will love a more decentralized world
