Just webmentions and Nothing Else

The other day, I posted an article about implementing webmentions on this site. Today, I’m battling an endless stream of spam in my mentions.

I’m really into the IndieWeb, or the ideas behind it. I like to own my data, I like a space to play and experiment, I like the idea of syndicating content to be read/experienced in a variety of formats. I love microformats, and RSS feeds, and… wait… how do webmentions work?
