🤔 Mastodon recommends a a[rel=me] link to indicate ownership of a linked website, but rel=me isn't allowed on <a> tags? Should it be link[rel=me] instead?

Link types&colon; me - HTML&colon; HyperText Markup Language | MDN

The me keyword for the rel attribute of the <link> and <a> elements indicates that the current resource is represented by the linked party. The me value was introduced in the XHTML Friends Network (XFN) specification.

@mehulkar Putting rel=anything on an <a> tag is definitely allowed. The main question is whether the remote thing you want to use it will look there or not.

In the case of Mastodon, I know from experience that it does work, same as Indieweb web sign-in.
