[benwerd] @mapkyca can a post published privately receive webmentions?

FWIW, I find public comments to be extremely helpful and useful to drive interactions with people who don’t have their own website, like many family members who are used to Facebook.
#
[cleverdevil]
I love webmentions, but spam will become a problem with webmentions too once they catch on.
#
[jgmac1106]
I agree, is there away to add a spam filter to Known?
#
[cleverdevil]
Spam filtering is largely a solved problem, and I’d prefer to see Known updated to support spam filtering pervasively across mentions and comments.
#
[cleverdevil]
Mapkyca added an Akismet plugin a while back, but it isn’t really maintained and honestly didn’t work for me when I tried it.
#
[cleverdevil]
Comment and mention moderation would also be a welcome addition.

seem to be more responsive to issues than #Knownchat is there an open issue
#
[cleverdevil]
It’s generally best to open an issue on GitHub to drive conversation.

due to the secual nature of the some of the spam and my roll as educator I have to keep public comments off
#
[cleverdevil]
Totally fair.
