[KevinMarks]: solid rel-me support, where? In search engines? I could find no mention of it when I was looking for it during write-up of https://wiki.zegnat.net/media/the-real-deal-about-rel-me.html
#
Zegnat
Would love to see citations of search engines using rel-me for anything
#
[tantek]
he meant Mastodon support for rel=me

Is it possible/reasonable to have a single note post that is both a u-bookmark-of one page and a u-like-of another page? Say I want to propagate the bookmark but also “credit” the originating post.
#
[fluffy]
but I want to link directly to the original thing to avoid link-rot
#
Zegnat
You add both classes, and then that is done, so I would say it is possible. I guess the only risk is that PTD algorithms may classify the post wrong when displaying it as a reaction on the linked pages
#
[fluffy]
Yeah I mean that part is obvious, I was just wondering if it was, y’know, “defined”
#
Zegnat
I don’t ... think so
#
[fluffy]
I know I’ve made folks grumpy in the past by overloading multiple post-types into a single post
#
[fluffy]
like putting like-of into a post with actual content of its own
#
Zegnat
I also wonder if that is an interesting extension to PTD. If you are parsing the post with a known target in mind, to prioritise the property that points at that target
#
Zegnat
Oh, I think I have done that, haha
#
Zegnat
My personal opinion is that a text note of any length can definitely convey a like of something, or a like of multiple things, or even both a like and a reaction. Current usage may dictate otherwise.
#
[tantek]
Sounds more like a IndieWeb dev channel question, especially per PTD
#
[fluffy]
Yeah I wasn’t asking about the PTD aspect, just the validity of this usage of mf2. I just realized that I was really reinventing repost-of the long way around though.
#
[fluffy]
well, sort of
#
Zegnat
As far as mf2 and parsers are concerned, fully valid to mix and match properties
#
[tantek]
mf2 has no constraints on number of properties or number of values for properties
#
[tantek]
[fluffy] you asked "possible/reasonable to have a single note post" which implies semantics of a "note post" matter to you, and that's more indieweb than microformats2 parsing / model
#
[tantek]
similarly, "overloading multiple post-types" is an indieweb-specific concern

Makes sense.
