More social media options?

I would like to request that there be additional options available in the social media links section for user profiles. I know that YouTube and Twitch are the biggest video sites, but how about adding some of the smaller ones like Odysee? I find their video quality to be far better than YouTube, especially for SD content. It would be nice to have more diversity.

For now, you could put your Odysee profile under the general website option.

OK, I've just done that. It would be nice to have it integrated with SRC though.

i think having your PSN, Xbox profile, and Switch Friend code integrated would be cool

I think there's way too many integrations already. If anything, I think people need to start learning to make their own websites to link all their relevant socials if they have more than like 3 that they need to share.

Instead of adding more, some should be replaced Like Duolingo and the other Spotify Adding your Roblox and PS account would be good

Mildly off-topic but, while this may be true (at a glance I see what you're talking about, I suspect there's more to the story though), it's worth noting that smaller platforms like that are rarely profitable and are more or less guaranteed to eventually disappear without much warning (especially this one being "blockchain-based", oof). Doing alternate uploads like that somewhere is cool, but I would strongly recommend not exclusively uploading your runs to a small, unproven platform that's unlikely to see long-term success.

Anyway, yeah there are already a lot of social integrations, and with all the new startups slinging around blockchain, AI, metaverse, etc as buzzwords I don't think it makes sense to have every single one of those listed here when at least 99.9% of them are doomed to fail and the vast majority of people are just gonna use the more established stuff anyway.

I mean even for proven stuff like YT if you truly wanna be safe it doesn't hurt to have it backed up somewhere else.

mildly ot but honestly, I would try to promote Roblox as little as possible. Anyone who ever looked a bit behind the scenes of roblox knows how predatory it is. I wouldnt be fore adding such an integration or social link.

Then don’t share them.

Just my thinking but having more integrations can be confusing. If you want to connect all your profiles, it'll be neater to just make a page with all the socials you want to share. Then put the link under general website.
