Someone (@CSMoskell ?) at the @Hypothes_is #SLS22 conference on social annotation earlier today suggested using well annotated public web pages as examples could be helpful for adoption.
#InstructionalDesign
Here's an excellent project to use: https:/
I'm so glad @Hypothes_is is recording the sessions of #SLS22. So much valuable material about #annotations and pedagogy to absorb. This will need a few rounds of notes.

I'm sorry you've run into this issue. I can't help but wonder if most of the spam is really pingback spam? Much of what you've gotten likely isn't arriving via webmention as I see the following header in your page:
<link rel="pingback" href="https://webmention.io/www.miriamsuzanne.com/xmlrpc" />
My guess along with some minor sleuthing is that the entirety of the spam you're seeing is of the pingback variety as the mechanism by which webmention works is mean to actively decrease the amount of unwanted spam. Vanishingly little Webmention spam has been seen in the wild.
Removing the pingback link from the header of that particular page (or others that might get linked to with heavily trafficked sites like CSS-Tricks which are often pirated) should solve your immediate problem. Hopefully those who are working on additional anti-spam features will add to these measures to further mitigate this sort of issue for the broader publics' use and adoption. I've personally experienced this sort of "attack" at least once in the pingback space and another using the even older refbacks specification. On my small personal site, I leave them all on however, particularly for the small slice of academic blogging community that still uses pingbacks and the benefits generally outstrip the annoyance. Naturally your mileage may vary and you may consider turning them off.
Of course, you'll probably also realize that the reason the CSS-Tricks notification was caught in spam was because it also came in as a pingback and not by webmetion. (I'm pretty sure that they don't have webmention set up to send them, so their site would have only sent a pingback.)
Many of the older systems, including WordPress which are frequently used by these same sorts of pirates, will still send/trigger pingbacks. Within the IndieWeb space, most sites explicitly sending webmention notifications will include h-cards with author names and timestamps which is part of why Max Böck’s filtering solution works well.
On the positive side, I wonder if this sort of notification behavior might help sites like CSS-Tricks to track these sort of bad actors for help in potential take downs of this sort of piracy?
Is anyone else using @Hypothes_is like a digital #zettelkasten or #CommonplaceBook for note taking?

There's so much missing Indigenous context in this article. How can we better juxtapose and sort the cultural differences while trying to build a "Third Archive" to save Indigenous knowledge and languages?

Dear @BisleyDirect, is there an American distributor from whom I can purchase a few 132/A6HD card index cabinets? My #zettelkasten is growing and I need something with some style and expandability.

Why is it they all show up when I'm trying to cook dinner? Two different sets of guys from different companies just came to the door within five minutes of each other to sell me solar for my roof.
A refback (remember those?!) today reminded me about this post: Non-technical IndieWeb: Fun, Creativity, Community, and “Content” https:/

I just found the most awesome quote. Sadly I need to photograph it to do it proper justice, my phone just died, and it's stupidly late at night. I'll dream about it and post it tomorrow...
One of my favorite things about the "social network" hiding in @Hypothes_is is that there's a sort of article I can visit & all my favorite friends & thinkers have already marked it to pieces! Hello! @flancian @TrailMarks @kixiQu @moonlion_eth #PKM

This morning I find myself wondering what is the longest post that has ever appeared on micro.blog? I'm hoping it's not me... #WallOfText
