I've read many requests to add Mastodon links to GitHub profiles for verification and discovery purposes.

My team is working on allowing you to add a number of social profile links, but given upcoming holiday vacations, it won't ship until the new year. We don't want to rush something out at the potential cost of disrupting what is generally a quiet time for our engineers.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't talk about in progress work on social media, but y'all seem like you can keep a secret.

@derekprior and they all support rel="me"?

does "Other" grab the favicon so it will look as nice to have a peertube or @pixelfed ? if your gonna build mastodon support you should go all the way and have it so all fediverse links to profiles are treated as first class citizens.

@liaizon @pixelfed yes to the first question. No to the second. A full link will render with a generic link icon, like the website does today.
@derekprior @pixelfed I think this preferential treatment of Mastodon over other fediverse platforms is going to cause quite a good amount of backlash. If you simply labelled the field  Fediverse but only officially supported Mastodon you would get much better reception. Imagine having a field for Gmail and then having any other email provider be called Other. Its just unnecessary preferential treatment of one server software over another.
@liaizon @derekprior @pixelfed Definite second.
