Removing webmentions from this site
I removed webmentions from this site entirely today.
How the setup worked (receiving via webmention.io + Bridgy, sending via webmention.app, Eleventy fetch at build time, UI under posts) is already written up in an earlier post.
I removed them because they were not adding much value, and the UI below posts felt messy. Email and Mastodon CTAs already cover how to reply, and the webmention block mostly cluttered the bottom of posts without making the site better to use.
What still shows under posts and notes is Comment via Email, and Comment on Mastodon when a post has a status URL.
By the way, I am not against the webmention protocol. But just clean slate for now; the implementation post is enough if I ever rebuild it.
