rubenwardy Since implementing support for webmentions last year, I've gotten 1 non-bridgy webmention and 2 spam webmentions. Interesting how spammers have found webmentions
#
[tantek] is the spam directly from webmention or via pingback/webmention bridging?
#
rubenwardy oh that's a good point, not sure how to tell

#
[snarfed] Yeah true native webmention spam has been extremely rare historically
#
[snarfed] afaik we've documented literally just one or two ever, eg https://indieweb.org/spam#Indieweb_Examples
#
[snarfed] rubenwardy if you can confirm that yours really are native wm spam, please add them there!
#
[tantek] [snarfed] yea see follow-up in #indieweb-dev
#
[snarfed] ah sorry thx

[tantek] Has anyone here gotten a Mastodon view of their fedi-profile (e.g. via Bridgy Fed) or Mastodon account directly to show a ✅ verified link back to your Threads profile?
#
[tantek] We could use a screenshot
eitilt1 joined the channel
#
[tantek] seeing if I can make it work with my home page linking to my Threads profile and pinging Bridgy Fed
#
[snarfed] I haven't looked at this deeply yet but I suspect with BF you'd need to put https://fed.brid.gy/web/tantek.com into your Threads profile instead of just https://tantek.com
#
[snarfed] which is obviously unfortunate

gRegor That tracks, I think that's how I got my homepage to show up with verified checkmark, though it is still hit or miss. It shows up on indieweb.social though.
