There are a few links in the footer for Social Media sites that either appear broken or abandoned. Recommend removing these links, and potentially archiving or decommissioning the associated profiles:

LinkedIn -- This only has 10 followers, and has never made a post
Facebook -- No posts made since 2019; Uses a "person" profile (Henry Patrick Reilly) rather than an organization
#oggcastplanet IRC -- there are two different links, one in the footer (Libera) and one on the about page (freenode). Not sure if either is still being used?

I can make the changes, but would appreciate some bit of guidance.

No both are in use as a placeholder back channel. People use both from time to time to alert me of issues privately.

#oggcastplanet on freenode is the traditional home of podcasters. That tended to be where the HPR folks met. So we need to keep it active. After the move to Libre.chat someone made the #oggcastplanet room and also has people in it.

So we need to see if we can bridge both to matrix. However we don't actually 'own' #oggcastplanet

We could leave the accounts then, but maybe it's time to stop linking to them. Or suggest that people use email, or Matrix.

If anyone finds either link they just look defunct, and that's not great.

Agree we need to make a better place holder, however the pages need to remain. I'll bring this up on the greater discussion. Please leave this ticket open.
