Thinking about it, wouldn’t it be really cool if WPTavern implemented support for Webmention (https://indieweb.org/Webmention)? Then the community taking part on this site, which is greatly composed by WordPress developers, would have a nice incentive to add support for the IndieWeb on their own sites, as to post their comments for WPTavern on their own sites and syndicate them to WPTavern. And from then on, they may implement it for their customers too, slowly but steadily creating a loose network of WordPress sites sharing content with each other, and offering a proper alternative to Medium and the likes…

@wptavern btw, I think there’s a bug on the site (or is this intentional?): links added through the link button (i.e. ) are stripped, only pasting the URL in the comment body works
