MastodonToday we're launching a new #Mastodon feature that will highlight writers and journalists that are active on the fediverse when their their articles are being shared.

Flipboard@Mastodon Fantastic initiative!
Pelle Wessman@Flipboard @Mastodon Very similar to what eg Google+ did with rel-author and what I worked on implementing into Flattr back the as well. Not sure why rel-author isn’t used 🤔 http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-author
@Flipboard @Mastodon Added a comment about it: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/30398#issuecomment-2204184781
It’s sad to not see more cooperation between #Mastodon / #Fediverse and #IndieWeb
The latter is focused on social semantics for the web and the former for social semantics for ActivityPub – when the two overlap they should coordinate – and articles are very much web pages and something the #IndieWeb knows best practices around

Authorship markup
Emelia 👸🏻@Flipboard @voxpelli @Mastodon I suspect the answer to "why not rel author" is because that's just a URI iirc, not a fediverse native account?
