Q&A More social media/online communities to link to profile.

I agree that this seems like a low-priority feature. It would certainly fall into the category of potentially nice to have, but it's not something that seems like a deal-breaker for anyone. As alre...

Q&A Should it be possible to "react" to one's own posts?
