> A community proposal for mapping web pages back to AT URIs.

Custom property for a blog's comments #2

Gordon asked about a meta tag that defines a blogs comments.

This is already used as an example in the proposal using at:alternate, but it assumes the canonical record of the web page is a standard.site document to contextualize it. And there can be blogs that are not on standard.site and linking/embedding to a AT record for comment.

Here I propose a custom property for blog comments as at:blog:comments.

Is this what @gordon.bsky.social is asking?

Gordon I think you want a canonical way to have a bsky post as a comment / webmention?

Concretely constellation provides this as a shared community service https://www.microcosm.blue/

Other long form references a “share post” and interactions on it.

Chris can you give an example of where this would be used and why?

I interpreted Gordon's post that some blogs (standard.site or not) embed a bluesky post (or maybe even another lexicon) as the comment section. For example, standard.site has a bskyPostRef field for this. This meta tag would allow someone to declare the AT record for the canonical comment section of the blog. It seems like this would mainly benefit non-standard.site blogs.
