#2Oooh I like a lot.
The whole idea of a two-way links like the wp pingbacks in the good old days is getting traction. For more info about this, see https://indieweb.org/Webmention and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkback
Another useful related thing I saw is https://brid.gy/ which transforms social mentions into webmentions

"Webmention is a simple way to notify any URL when you mention it on your site. From the receiver's perspective, it's a way to request notifications when other sites mention it."

Sounds pretty similar to pingbacks

See the link in ivan_ah's comment: https://indieweb.org/Webmention
"When you link to a website, you can send it a Webmention to notify it. If it supports Webmentions, then that website may display your post as a comment, like, or other response, and presto, you’re having a conversation from one site to another!"

"Webmention[1] is a W3C recommendation that describes a simple protocol to notify any URL when a website links to it, and for web pages to request notifications when somebody links to them. Webmention was originally developed in the IndieWebCamp community[2] and published as a W3C working draft on January 12, 2016.[3] As of January 12, 2017 it is a W3C recommendation.[4] Webmention enables authors to keep track of who is linking to, referring to, or commenting on their articles. By incorporating such comments from other sites, sites themselves provide federated commenting functionality."[1]
If you want to know a little more about how this fits in with other adjacent social web protocols, I'd recommend the Social Web Protocols document[2].

Webmention was inpsired by pingbacks but without xml.
Webmention.io (the submitted link) contains a pingback to webmention forwarding service[1].

#10At first, I didn't get it. Pingbacks, isn't that from the 90s?
Then, I thought: does this mean the bar for joining a conversation on my publication is that you have to publish something too?
That seems like a nice bar to set for asking both parties in a conversation to be fully engaged. Trolls seem like they will be too lazy to do that.
