Nixed the discussion tag here because something had to go and all of the other tags are important

| Jan 22 at 9:44 | comment | added | Robotnik | If they want to get truly special, on the Share popup, show links to post on the sites you've specified in your profile | |
| Jan 22 at 9:44 | comment | added | cocomac | @Robotnik Could you post that as an answer? | |
| Jan 22 at 9:42 | comment | added | Robotnik | #3 - but with support for "common" links. So if someone links their LinkedIn, then show a LinkedIn icon. (Or Reddit, X, Insta, Mastodon, BlueSky etc etc). If an unknown site is provided, just use a default link icon. | |

Broaden the scope a bit to include social media links outside of just the user profile.

| Jul 14, 2023 at 21:22 | comment | added | JDB | @SonictheAnonymousHedgehog - Thanks. I'll keep that in mind for the future. My single specific request is to remove the prominence of a single social network, but yes... I'm open to a discussion about how best to do that. | |

| Jul 14, 2023 at 20:39 | comment | added | Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog | Your question doesn't propose a single, specific solution. You ask for something out of three solutions to be done (which is why I kept the feature-request tag instead of removing it), but there's still an open discussion of which of the three solutions should be implemented. | |
| Jul 14, 2023 at 20:38 | comment | added | JDB | @sonic - This is a feature-request and should be judged as a feature-request. Any particular reason you added the discussion tag? | |

| Jul 11, 2023 at 9:41 | comment | added | Rebecca J. Stones | Good idea! Maybe replace it with LinkedIn or some other professional site, one that an expert might use. | |
| Jul 11, 2023 at 5:36 | comment | added | Rocket Nikita | And also does not break previously created profiles | |
| Jul 10, 2023 at 21:06 | comment | added | starball Mod | I think #3 makes sense, but it would be more work. #2 is nice and simple to implement. | |

| Jul 10, 2023 at 19:05 | comment | added | mousetail | Scrapping favicons is suprisingly tricky. There are lots of possible places to look. | |
