I see you have `RE` articles! I love this idea (and in fact I use this myself)!

I think if someone has something to say about what someone else has written, then the best way to do so is by writing another document, linking to the original one, and then laying the remarks.

Not only does it help the original article in SEO ranking, but it also helps build the "decentralized web" that I hear being talked about, but this way without any block-chain-BS...



It does more, than that, it "pings" the site I reply to. This used to be a by default thing in CMSes like WordPress, when Pingback (and Trackback) was widespread, but it died out due to spam. Webmentions are trying to revive it, more here: https://indieweb.org/reply
