Social Media Badges

[hjal-dev]

Problem Statement

Mod Authors / Community Members have GitHub Profiles, YouTube channels, Twitch channels, or other social media pages, but there is currently no way to display these on their profile.

Proposed Solution

Allow users to add links to their social media in User Settings

Each platform would appear as a recognizable badge/icon on the users profile. Clicking the icon/badge would open the platform profile in a new tab.

Alternatives Considered

No response

Additional Context

Example on Platforms:

• GitHub / GitLab
• X (Twitter)
• YouTube
• Twitch
• Personal Website

I don't particularly agree with this as would open the door to external advertising

Even with a limited amount of supported platforms?

Both Youtube & Twitch are monetized. Personal websites can contain literally anything and there's no way we could validate it wasn't harmful. X is just lol

Any of these being links to profiles is an avenue for advertising, abuse, or really any number of potential issues.
