Is it possible to delete webmentions?

I’m not so sure that there is a way for us mere mortals. You probably have to reach out to @manton to actually delete the webmention from the database.

In the context of your blog, there are some things you could do to hide it. For example, add the following snippet to Custom CSS:

.microblog_post:has(.microblog_time > a[href$="110117524749171076"]) {
  display: none;
}

Here, I’m assuming the original webmention post URL ends with an identifier. So you have to substitute the numbers above with the identifier of the offending webmention. You might have to come up with another CSS selector if the URL scheme used is different for the post you have in mind.

If you’re comfortable with JavaScript, you can write your own replies widget, using Conversation.js, and add support for excluding certain webmentions.
