@pfefferle Maybe like a „Trackback link“ in the comments? (You mean, when a blog article gets cited, right?)

@pfefferle In the trackbacks.

@pfefferle Blogging is part of the fediverse, but blogging is not social media. Do not detract from the blog post.

@Sascha @NickBohle @cyclingrichard aren't you interested in what the quote (text) was? don't you want to answer the quote?
isn't trackback/pingback a step back? https://indieweb.org/pingback#Problems

> In our experience, 99% of all trackbacks and pingbacks are spam. This is the easiest way for spammers to get a backlink from your site.

@cyclingrichard do you refer to incoming or outgoing quotes?

@pfefferle @NickBohle @cyclingrichard Of course, context would be nice and is needed. But a different type of formatting would be also helpful. That’s what I meant with reference to the trackbacks. The positioning of them, it was/is just at the same place as the comments.

@Sascha @NickBohle @cyclingrichard the "problem" is, that there is no unified way how themes show pingbacks.
so you simply suggest to separate them from the "normal" comments!?

@pfefferle The QuoteRequest activity is similar to a Pingback with an extended interactionPolicy, and I believe it should treat the quoted content as a remote object rather than displaying it directly within a comment. A quote is not a comment, after all.
If you really want to support it, I think it would make the most sense to post it under a post/quote subpage.

@pfefferle @Sascha @NickBohle @cyclingrichard The `send quoteRequest to` field sounds like a good approach.

@pfefferle @Sascha @cyclingrichard
Theme implementation is a crucial point. I remember that I once wrote an article how to separate comments and pingbacks in "The Morning After" theme back in 2008.
How comments and pingbacks look in Twenty Twenty-Four nowadays (see below).
Furthermore - for me - a comment / reply continues a conservation. A quote starts a new conservation.

@pfefferle I don't know enough about the topic to comment. I'd have to follow developments more closely to get a good idea of what is being prepared. I know that I want to pivot back towards social networks, rather than social media. It's good to have focused attention for individual blog posts. As I said, I need to spend more time following the conversation to give useful answers.

@pfefferle My suggestion is to show a quote post as a highlighted #WordPress comment, along with the quoted section. Some blogs like the @verge highlight comments, although I think those are reserved for admins & users.
Another alternative is to have quoted post highlighted in the comments or a #Fediverse icon put next to the profile picture in the comments (maybe a small square toward the right side or have the #ActivityPub symbol appear next to the profile picture in the comments).

Happy Monday, fediverse!
Quick question. How well do you know the people you follow? Would you recognize them from their bios?
