Erm… concerning the `fediverse:creator` #OpenGraph tag in #Mastodon, described in <https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/highlighting-journalism-on-mastodon/>:
It's either not an OpenGraph tag (which would be unfortunate), or the example in the blog is wrong.
OpenGraph, being based on #RDFa, uses the `<meta property="…">` attribute, not `name`.
Also, if it is OpenGraph, then what namespace should I add for the `fediverse:` prefix to point to?
Which one is true for this feature, @MastodonEngineering?

@BeAware @MastodonEngineering Sadly, the very question I asked is also unanswered in this issue. @trwnh asked the same thing in https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/30398#issuecomment-2126215768 , and none of what they said got respected as it seems.

@nik @trwnh the issue of them not respecting opengraph is answered though? You know how it's used based on the link, it just doesn't change the fact that it's not respected.
Mastodon has a habit of not respecting standards. They barely respect AP.
I thought your question was directly asking how to use it. Not if it would change to respect opengraph?

@nik @BeAware @MastodonEngineering fwiw the example is wrong, it should be meta name= because it is inspired by Twitter Cards. the reason it was expressed as property= incorrectly is because mastodon currently makes no distinction between the two and will grab either one if available, even if they are different values.

@BeAware @trwnh My question was how to use it, because the docs say it were OpenGraph, then show an example which is not.
The rest of it eveloved after I decided to dig into the code and find out myself.
Now I know how to use it **and** that it is another exhibit in "Mastodon is really a proprietry product".
