@schnarfed ↩️ AP and webmention are indeed both W3C recs: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/, https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/. AP is aimed more at federating multi-user servers with high traffic push JSON, webmention more at individual personal web sites, HTML w/microformats, more balanced btw push and pull.

[KevinMarks] Really misdesigned rel alternative https://journallist.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/trust.txt-specification-v-1-1.pdf

[aciccarello] Leaning on robots.txt and ads.txt seems like a poor example of good practice
# [aciccarello] That's my point
# [aciccarello] "we're following this really good example" (points to bad example)
# [aciccarello] From the PDF "The concept of a trust.txt file borrows heavily from two previous very successful efforts improving the overall experience of the internet: robots.txt and ads.txt."
# [aciccarello] I think they are conflating "success" with "widely used". "improving overall experience" seems to be giving too much credit in that quote
# [aciccarello] Looks like there is some overlap with rel=me and open graph in that spec too defining related social media accounts

# [aciccarello] I've heard that is a cesspool mostly due to the financial incentives involved with ad money. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/adstxt-zero-day-exploit-wild-brief-history-fraud-ad-fraud-historian/
