[tantek] I see [snarfed] handled the de-duplication testing on https://www.johnpe.art/2023/10/31/making-webmentions-look-more-conversational/ so I didn't have to. He shows up as liking the post twice! First via webmention directly, then second via ActivityPub / BridgyFed
#
[tantek] and yes that means my direct webmention showed up and I didn't have to like the Mastodon POSSE copy!

[tantek] [snarfed] it's accurate on the macro-level. evidence with screenshots: https://www.wonderfulnarrative.com/thoughts/youre-all-set
#
[jacky] Ha dang tbh
#
[jacky] That was spot on
#
[snarfed] UX design seems pretty far from how resource intensive web page rendering is
#
[snarfed] (yes they're related, but not the same)
#
[snarfed] I meant that "web developers are remarkably untalented and careless programmers" is uncharitable. maybe some, sure, but optimizing resource utilization is probably not a top priority for many web developers, and that's probably an appropriate choice
#
[jacky] Yeah my sense is that the idea is that the browser will handle it
#
[jacky] And that means making something to compete against the speed of human error
