Remove "Share on X" Social Integration

Does it make sense to keep this social integration enabled on this discourse?

Marketing team has switched to Mastodon (@nixos_org@chaos.social) since 2022.

I think that’s a good suggestion!

Removed. The only other option was Facebook, so we’re down to just E-Mail now.

Are there statistics if it got used?

If there was any usage, I have only clicked on it by accident :slight_smile:

Wonder if there is a share to mastodon button? Maybe has to be enabled?

I question the usefulness of Fediverse sharing buttons… We all know how to copy and paste a link, and a fediverse share button needs to redirect you somewhere where you have to enter your handle to get redirected to your instance, so it’s definitely not any easier than just copying a link.

Edit: the only good use of a share button (besides copying a link) on websites is triggering Web Share API - Web APIs | MDN imho, which on mobile clients will trigger the native app sharing dialog (and lets you select apps you have installed as share targets)
