While I understand your focus here, I think step one for figuring out endorsements is to focus on the “simple” flow, how one site requests a badge from another and how the other site replies. Once a simple two site flow is determined, then it can be tweaked to support a third-party credentials system. I see it as you would likely create the initial request post, but then you would syndicate that to the third party ledger. (We already know how syndication works, so that wouldn’t have to be figured out).
It’s for everybody. :] But yes, webmentions were developed in the indieweb community and a lot of our personal sites support it so we can interact between our sites.
I’m biased, but the indieweb chat is a good place to keep up with things people are doing on their personal sites and get inspired! https://indieweb.org/discuss
Oops something went wrong with my Bridgy syndication so there’s some missing bits to this convo. This issue is being closed because the issue is actually with webmention.io

Hmm odd! I see it as “activity: rsvp” in the webmention.io mentions endpoint. I’m not sure how to link to that, though.
Webmentions are great! I’ve been using them since 2017 and it’s changed the way I interact. I just wrote an article about how I got into Webmention and other IndieWeb technologies. Give it a read (https://eddiehinkle.com/2018/07/20/11/article/) and join us (https://indieweb.org/discuss)
That’s a great idea. I’m doing something similar. I’m in the process of leaving Facebook, so I created three topics (Personal, Family, Tech) that people could sign up for. I have a monthly email that sends posts that are of the topics the person is interested in.
You’ve probably seen me ramble on about “IndieWeb” the last few years. Here’s a great A List Apart article on webmentions, the core of how we can start interacting from our own website instead of silos.
