[tantek] analytics << Criticism: 2023-09-14 [https://pcmaffey.com/counting-ghosts Counting Ghosts] / A case for abandoning web analytics <blockquote>In 2019, I wrote Roll Your Own Analytics, my simple approach to privacy-first web analytics.

fLaMEd How do you send/notify a website that you've mentioned them without going through bridgy/mastodon? E.g. I've created this reply, https://flamedfury.com/notes/2023-09-27-1/ and unsure now how to notify lostletters that I've made the reply...

Loqi [preview] [fLaMEd] Website interaction/comments for static sites is hard. You’ve already jumped the huge hurdle to get Webmentions up and running 👏 and it’s a shame that the default choice for Webmentions is “social media platform” of choice rather than util...
#
[snarfed] fLaMEd the answer is, send a webmention, right?
#
[snarfed] and if they don't accept those, and if you really want to, you find an out of band way
#
[snarfed] one key thing I think you'll need to change though, the "Reply to Permalink" should link to the original post, not your reply

#
[snarfed] fLaMEd welcome! also bridgy is widely used, but it definitely isn't/doesn't have to be the "default" way to send wms. send them natively, site to site!

#
[tantek] fLaMEd++ well done!

fLaMEd I am slowly marking up parts of my site with microformats. Once i have that done I'll create individual feeds then look at some syndication to Mastodon.
