List of profile socials needs improvement

Wuzzy

I noticed in the forum profile you can add a number of "social media" accounts in a list which is a nice feature. However, it is extremely biased towards proprietary systems. Most icons are proprietary sites.

Only a few icons were for FOSS: Git, Mastodon, Telegram. That seems to be it. Also, there are 2 generic globe and e-mail icons. Every other of the (over 100 I guess) logos are icons of proprietary things. :-(

Another problem I noticed it that it doesn't accept my e-mail address or XMPP adress. Even if I add "mailto:" or "xmpp:" at the front to turn it to an URI, it gets rejected ("invalid URL").
So yeah, it seems it's impossible to add your e-mail address. :(

I am suggesting to add a couple of new icons to make the list actually a little bit more FOSS-positive:

XMPP (also needs support for XMPP address)
Matrix
diaspora*
Signal
Codeberg.org
GitLab.com
NotABug.org
OpenCollective
Liberapay

Please suggest your own icons. ;-)

Yes, I agree it is not ideal. But it is an upstream issue.

You can complain here: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/18775-friendsofflarum-social-profile/99 or on the linked Github page.

Ah, thx. I thought this is something that could be customized by admins. So the icons are hardcoded then? I didn't know that.

I posted an issue at the plugin's issue tracker: FriendsOfFlarum/socialprofile33
