Congratulations, Jason—twenty years of kottke.org is a hell of an achievement!
I’ve been reading back through the early archives (which I wouldn’t recommend), and it feels like excavating down through layers of sediment, tracing the growth & evolution of the web, a media format, and most of all, a person.

On the “login” page where it asks for your url, it should have a button called “what’s this?”
That button opens up either an app based tutorial or a website tutorial that explains from a High Level the idea of IndieAuth and Micropub and links to some Micropub servers that can be used. (Right now probably micro.blog and Known)
Errors should be returned when attempting to login that make sense to a user that doesn’t understand IndieAuth or Micropub, but also provide a link to Micropub.rocks that helps diagnose the issue

I think that this is 💯% correct. There is a long way to go, but I think the path is not completely clear. I kind of feel like Wordpress is a Gen 2 tool. I might be wrong. But it feels like the solution to this is not just making Wordpress plugins better.
I think it is something that has: easy one-click install approach (better if no install needed but I think that’s still a ways off), a straight forward configuration/settings screen.
I think that means IF this solution is based in Wordpress, it probably means creating a simplified Admin Theme with the traditional Wordpress Admin Theme as an optional switch in “advanced settings”.
I wonder to some extent if Drupal is a good solution, however I don’t know about the one-click installation possibilities of that. I almost think either Known being further refined or an “original IndieWeb focused CMS”. However the IndieWeb is so big there are many diverse opinions as to what something like that would be like.
I lean towards those later two options: Refining Known or developing a new simple IndieWeb principled CMS, incorporating things like flat file storage and/or SQLite. With the idea of keeping it low configuration and maintenance.

This essay on how reddit tries to shape discourse is well worth reading, both for the text itself and the subtext of how successful Ohanian and Huffman have been at erasing @aaronsw from the Reddit story. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/03/19/reddit-and-the-struggle-to-detoxify-the-internet #Indieweb

Currently, I’m getting micro.blog webmentions by running a proxy for myself that pings my user’s mentions feed every couple of minutes. This wouldn’t be need for me (or anyone else) if micro.blog sent a webmention with a target of the user’s profile url.
The microformats might have to be tweaked a little to get it to work.
The scenario is this:
Aaron Parecki writes a post that @mentions my micro.blog username, creating a micro.blog mention.
Micro.blog sees that and adds the post to my mentions feed
Micro.blog checks the URL I have associated with my micro.blog profile (https://eddiehinkle.com). This also means https://eddiehinkle.com would need to be included in the post url’s h-entry e-content somewhere, whether or not it actually displays on the page
Micro.blog would send a webmention to my profile url (https://eddiehinkle.com), allowing my site and webmention endpoint to receive the mention without having to ping micro.blog.

Reacji isn’t itself part of any specific standard. However, it works as part of microformats2 replies. So the idea is just that you compose a reply with a single emoji character. If that is the case, then a person can consider it a reacji rather than a comment. Also, Bridgy translates reacji replies to and from silo emoji reactions. This post has ❤️ reacji from Facebook and This post is me sending a ❤️ to a GitHub issue using Bridgy Publish

Lol! I’m sure this is a joke, but if you ever ACTUALLY want to “facepalm” something, that is where reacji come in. It’s an indieweb way to do flexible reactions similar to a like. Here is an example of clapping.
