What it means for WordPress.com users is not clear either. But if we start to speculate based on the term “standardize” he used in his statement, it’s likely that the company will enable sharing or reblogging across both services. It could also be that they bring registered users of both services closer together, which could also mean that it becomes easier for users of both services to comment and interact with each other. If we speculate further, it could become a reality that both services are integrated into the same feed or reader, which is how both communities could meet and interact with each other.
This was a surprise for me. I’m not sure what any of this means for Tumblr or WordPress.com customers but I think it’s an exciting development. Perhaps we’ll get more Indieweb features such as Webmentions.
MySpace with web standards and a personalized domain name that you can export anytime as html. Using webmentions & some form of oAuth. That’s what is going to win.
So excited to be co-organizing an IndieWebCamp in NYC!

And now https://lwa.black.af/ is up with some new copy. The reader link is valid but I took it off for now.
Working on the actual Microsub plumbing after I get the IndieAuth flow going
I’m up late because I got a red-eye. Going to use the time now to add some more copy to https://lwa.black.af then add some stuff like IndieAuth and Micropub support. Microsub will be the newest spec I have to implement.
Very excited!
This is how comments and replies on the internet were meant to be! You can now easily implement them in WordPress.
I see a bit of odd behaviour regarding Webmentions, Semantic Linkbacks and comments. There are five responses in this thread which started with a post from my blog that that was syndicated to micro.blog. Three of the responses show up under the original blog post. However, two show up under my Webmentions collection page.
I am not using the WordPress Webmention for Comments plugin. Can you help?
It also seems that it’s no longer possible to change the Webmention type via Semantic Linkbacks.
huh. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look at SemPress and see if replacing Independent Publisher is something I want to do :)

Take a look at Indieweb Publisher by @dshanske. It’s a fork of Independent Publisher.
