Some developer named Bob who wants to write in the Indieweb and the Fediverse, and therefore has a blog that supports both ActivityPub and Webmentions.
Reply to a toot (& POSSE tweet): https://tantek.com/2023/019/t4
* @-@ (Twitter @-name)
This is a variant of case (2) in https://tantek.com/2023/018/t1/elevate-indieweb-above-silo.
We can update the directive and two questions & answers in that prior post accordingly:
* Elevate #IndieWeb domains above @-@ addresses, and those above any silo identities
1. Do they have an #IndieWeb domain? Then @-domain mention them^2, like you are speaking to them at their domain identity. This will notify them there, or at least reinforce their domain’s importance.
2. Was their post only published on a #fediverse instance (and/or silo), or was it POSSEd to a fediverse instance (and/or silo) and do you plan to federate (and/or POSSE) your reply^3?
Then use their @-@ address or silo @-name, or @-@ (silo @-name) for both, or (@-@, silo @-name) parenthetically following their @-domain if (1). This will notify them on that instance (or silo), and may help thread your POSSE reply.
When posting a reply, you (or your CMS automatically) should explicitly link with u-in-reply-to markup^4 to the post your are replying to, and any of its syndicated copy permalinks on destinations you plan to POSSE your reply (see also multi-reply^5).
This is day 18 of #100DaysOfIndieWeb #100Days, written the day after.

https://tantek.com (@tantek.com@tantek.com, @t) Re: reply-domain-above-address-and-silo - I had been thinking about what would be the best way to do this from a presence like mine - and what the implications are going to be for people who use things like Bridgy Fed or the wordpress federation plugin. Unfortunately, I think some of it for me is going to be manual until it hurts for now - and even then, only when I'm not too lazy. And I'm definitely still trying to figure some of this out. For example, we'll see whether this reply works the way I meant it to (on the second try...#testinginproduction).
