For federated comments on @write_as, I'm gonna start with just exposing Remark.as comments to the fediverse. This should at least get the basic data there, though you still won't receive replies from Mastodon etc.
Then I'll work on receiving replies from the wider fediverse, and finally moderation tools. We'll see how it looks with replies showing up in the Remark.as UI, and then maybe move to showing comments on blog posts themselves.
Maybe we can start collecting basic stats on likes and boosts from the fediverse before getting to full comment support. That'll at least be easier -- won't have to worry about abuse and spam.
Just not sure where to show those stats. Maybe just to the author on their posts, like we do with views.
Made a bunch of progress on this today — now we're accepting and tracking the number of likes you get from the #fediverse on @write_as!
It's just not displayed anywhere. So that's the question — where do you want to see the number of likes you've received?
I know many people use #WriteFreely / Write.as to avoid likes and normal social media stuff. So should we just display the number on your stats page? Only to you on the post (e.g. next to "views")? Only in social spaces like Read.Write.as?
