Webmentions failing sporadically · Issue #682 · snarfed/bridgy https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/682

Sometime in the last week I find I'm sporadically missing webmentions from both Twitter and Facebook. It doesn't happen all the time, but I feel like I'm missing about a quarter or so of what should be coming back.

I've tried resending them through the brid.gy UI and it seems they then make it about 50% of the time.

The responses I'm seeing on those that fail are similar to the text below

This appears to me to be that Brid.gy thinks I have a WordPress.**COM** account rather than a self-hosted .**ORG** version. I'm unsure what could be causing this and don't seem to find any type of commonality for why some fail while others go through.
