Forgetting (then remembering) to check Webmentions
A few years ago I implemented webmentions on this site (by way of webmention.io and commentpara.de). I was never satisfied with it as a commenting system and never fully committed to it. I kept looking for either a better system or a webmention receiver I could host myself and never settled on anything.
The webmention system has remained hooked up here and still works. To my shame I forgot about it and stopped downloading new messages. I remembered a couple days ago, ran my download script, and there were mentions that'd been sitting in queue for years. So: sorry! Thank you to the two people who commented, I appreciate it. Those comments have been imported and I've left myself a note to remember to run the mention download script when I update this website in the future.
I'd still like to host my own receiver & mention-sending comment form (I'd be a lot happier without depending on third-party sites). Maybe it's time to look at the problem again.
