The number of spam comments caught by Akismet has been rising so, in a moment of morbid curiosity, I decided to change the settings to move them to spam rather than quietly delete them. I want to see what those pesky bots are up to - even if only for a little while.
@colinwalker @hjertnes WordPress filter to auto-linkify @-names for Micro.blog ;-)
Per Manton's post that I link in the into, any properly-linked @-name coming in from an external blog does get converted into a Mention in your Mentions tab (this is for plain-jane new posts; it sounded like you guys were talking about self-hosting replies there at the end, so not exactly sure what the "do that" is in @hjertnes last comment).
