Nothing dictates that receiving a Webmention means you’re bound to display its source content on your website.
You could…
• forward the Webmention to your email,
• build a private notifications dashboard (with or without a moderation queue),
• add a link to the source page to your website without including its content,
• do something wild like set up an auto responder to the original author thanking them for the like/boost/reply,
• etc. etc. etc.
Add #IndieAuth to your website and allow others to sign in. They’d be able to view a dashboard of the content they’d posted that made its way onto your website. Maybe add some lightweight self-service moderation controls?
@jgarber That takes the concept further and further into nerd-only territory.
I like the concept of the IndieWeb but so much of it is fiddly and requires dev experience that it’s hard to imagine someone who just wants to write and share their own content ever succeeding in implementing it well.
