Consider replacing usage of add_ping

Continuing with the idea of removing features designed for pingbacks... discontinue use of add_ping. The current advantage is that you aren't sending pingbacks and webmentions to the same site.

Thinking about this. There are two ways to address this...

  1. Each time a post is instructed to send all webmentions, it should store what it sent. Next time it sends webmentions, it generates a new list, compares it to the old, send webmentions for the ones no longer present as well as the current list.
  2. Check previous revisions to the post and compare them. This seems less reliable as people have plugins that clean up old revisions.
