So far, using webmentions hasn't created spam on my micro.blog instance or WordPress instance. I'm sure to a degree that's because spammers haven't found webmention yet, but it's worth noting. https://indieweb.org/Webmention https://indieweb.org/Webmention (I also find it fascinating but a little concerning that the "IndieWeb" movement and the community around ActivityPub seem to be inventing very similar wheels, either without being aware of one another's work or without much apparent interest in working together.)

I've been keeping an eye on indieweb stuff; but held off from dynamic things like webmention for now. I agree that the divergent efforts are a little frustrating. A few years ago I had a go at implementing Salmon/MagicEnvelopes/etc. that seem like the precursor to ActivityPub. Many years ago I played around with XMPP pubsub. Hopefully W3C validation will go some way towards actual adoption this time?
