mozilla.social's Elk frontend is odd, it doesn't serve AS2 conneg for either posts or profiles, it always returns text/html
#
[snarfed]
confusing

[snarfed], I tried to follow someone the other week and it doesn't look like they show up in my list. Is that the "Accept" thing I saw on another issue?

gRegor
Though also mozilla.social, so maybe related

Interesting, the macOS service that grabs the preview fow the share menu uses "facebookexternalhit/1.1 Facebot Twitterbot/1.0" as part of its User-Agent https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2023/10/8.html

gRegor: yeah any BF <=> mozilla.social interop is probably broken due to Elk right now
#
[tantek]
[snarfed] would it help if that HTML had mf2?
#
[tantek]
Barnaby, hadn't seen that. Add it to /design and /antipatterns!

[tantek] if it had mf2 _and_ webmentions, sure, but then you wouldn't need BF 😆

[snarfed]
I'll file an issue w/Elk
