   Also, re privacy, if people post publicly on Mastodon, they really have no right to protest about webmentions. If you want total control over what you post on social media, then make your posts private. Also just contact the publisher if you want your comment deleted.

     It seems it’s now a trend to disable webmentions. Now, I admit I am late to the webmentions party, but I just enabled them on Cybercultural and the main reason why: it promotes Mastodon to anyone who reads a post on my site as the “write” part of the read/write equation. I.e. I’m promoting the fediverse. The webmentions (hopefully) encourages readers to comment or even just engage (like, repost) with my post via Mastodon. https://mastodon.design/@mikehaynes/112152279963650929
