       I love independent proposals, so next release of #snac will include support for Webmention. It's a protocol built on top of web standards and part of the IndieWeb. It helps web page maintainers and bloggers to know when one of their URLs are mentioned in other platforms by providing a webhook to receive notifications. In snac's case, all links written in a Fediverse post (directly or using the Markdown format) will be tested for Webmention endpoints and notified if they exist.I don't know how many web sites out there implement Webmention (I guess very few), but given that it has been very simple to implement, here it is.Long live the non-big-tech Internet.#Webmention #IndieWeb

       @stefano @grunfink Nice but... I like that there are places where you can talk about e.g. articles and nobody outside, especially the author of the article, knows that it is being discussed. Depends on the situation.

       Well, yes, but those authors that don't want to know if their site is being referenced elsewhere will not configure a Webmention hook in their own site. This is totally opt-in by each web admin.CC: @stefano@bsd.cafe

       This will only apply for public posts, so if you want to discuss a link privately without the author being notified via this mechanism, just use a private conversation.CC: @stefano@bsd.cafe

       Don't know much about Pingbacks, but it's probably very similar. Also, I think that Webmentions are supported in Wordpress, not sure if natively or as a plugin.

       @grunfink @uhuru There is a #webmention-plugin for WordPress https://wordpress.org/plugins/webmention/ made by @pfefferle (known for the ActivtyPub-plugin)
