@weh_kaniini ↩️ but microformats is just a different form of semantic web craziness.  parsing HTML or XML is expensive by comparison to just using JSON everywhere.  it really is the right way to do it, and the AP spec is far more elegant than WebMention and friends.

@kevinmarks ↩️ Indieweb uses JSON where it makes sense - in Micropub and Microsub for example; Webmention was designed to work with any web resource, not just JSON ones.
Microformats define a way to get consistent JSON out of HTML web pages, and plenty of tooling to do it (twitter.com/_/status/1366909146369581056)

@weh_kaniini ↩️ but either way, if micropub/microsub/microformats provides meaningful value for *you*, then absolutely use them!  it is possible to make all of it interoperate anyway. (twitter.com/_/status/1366911779482316802)

[tantek] ^ this is a good take
# 02:09 
jacky yeah
# 02:12 
[KevinMarks] I think pleroma supports microformats
# 02:13 
[KevinMarks] getting kaniini to support micropub would be good
# 02:16 
jacky [KevinMarks]: IIRC kinda but that depends on the frontend you choose to use
# 02:17 
[KevinMarks] I think it defaults to a non-curlable frontend, but if you set it static you get mf2 suppport
