What is something that you still cannot explain?@pfefferle I accidentally stumbled on the problem. I tried to ping another site I run from node.lordmatt.co.uk. That too gave the same reply.So I took a look at the backend of node.lordmatt.co.uk. That's when I saw a notice about an expired anti-spam license. Disabled plugin. Everything works again.

WebmentionIn reply to: Open Mention Question of the week: What’s my blog’s primary topic or focus? On this – my social node – it is whatever thought I happen to have in the moment. That’s because this blog is for chatting and being social. I set it up to play with ActivityPub and Friends (plugins fo [Read More]
Bloggers, what is your primary topic or focus?There’s no such thing like a primary topic or focus on mine. It’s an ongoing ever evolving side project and it’s topics change with whatever my hyperfocus latches on next 🙃 I know many separate their ongoing projects or thoughts via profiles or even completely different websites.
