Content warning: Update on the Mastodon comments synced to my blog

how do you handle moderation? I assume you might want to selectively hide some posts from your blog even though they're allowed by framapiaf.org's moderation policy? Or do you completely rely on them?
@rfnix Hey, yes, I plan to rely on the moderation of Framapiaf and contribute to it by using the "report" feature (in Mastodon) if a post is infringing their code of conduct or term of services.

I guess because the system has my token, I could hide by mute or block...but I never put a comment in hidden mode if its opinion was different than mine or because I wasn't agreeing with the content. Same for criticism of my work. I'm usually fine as long I can reply and the discussion stays polite 🙂
cool, thanks for the answer! Using Mastodon as a comment system is super clever, especially coupled with the fact that there is a reputation filter that's basically built-in due to active moderation on the instance.

I was thinking that you (or somebody else using a similar script) would want to hide some posts in rare cases (e.g. out of caution for cases that are borderline okay from the instance rules), but if they actually reflect your own account's block rules that's even better!

@j_bertolotti Hey, I have this link https://www.davidrevoy.com/feed/rss/categorie2/webcomics/ , it's unfortunately not directly from peppercarrot.com, but a categories from the blog.

My RSS icon on my blog shows three options: all blog post, only brushes/tutorials, or webcomic only.

Merci pour ce que tu fais pour la communauté David. Comme ça, les gens auront le choix d'utiliser PHP ou Javascript pour intégrer les commentaires de Mastodon à leur blog.

this is very interesting but I'm a bit confused how this works. Do people log in to their Mastodon account to comment on the post, and then this comment also appears on their Mastodon feed as a reply to your toot?

How about the other way around, do replies to your Mastodon posts show up as comments on the blog post?
@gregzaal It's your other way round! You "comment" on the blog by replying to the linked toot.
@Parnikkapore @gregzaal Hey Greg, yes, Parnikkapore is right: the website is just a display of what is happening here.

I think it adds a lot of insight and additional information, and material for thinking under the blog-post for those who still find the post by themselves. It also leave an open door to interact with the article; adding a comment or a question, etc...

You can check how I invite to interact on the footer of https://www.davidrevoy.com/article982/fighting-for-the-open-web/show#comments
@stefan Hey, as far as I understood the Activitypub plugin for Wordpress: it really change your website into in own instance (eg. each time you publish, the blog-post is also a Fediverse post, and replies are built-in, etc...).

My script is much more humble, it only displays the replies to an existing post on the Fediverse. So, it certainly require more work. But I'm sure it will be easy to transform it into a Wp plugin. 1/2
@stefan The most difficult part will probably be to add a new 'text field' to the admin panel of the Wordpress CMS. This is where the user can enter the MastodonURLID of the article.
