Are you porting a site from Drupal to Backdrop? Is your use-case one that couldn't have added the rel=nofollow links in the theme? I'm still curious to know more about why a setting was necessary for your use-case.\r\n\r\nI was talking in general. That's why used the word \"always\".\r\n\r\nYou wrote:\r\n\r\n> Drupal tends to suffer from developers who want to please everyone, and instead of making decisions about what options should exist (and what shouldn't), they often build interfaces for every possible permutation - which leads to a bad user experience in the long run.\r\n\r\nI would't like to compare Backdrop with Drupal but I can understand why you do so. And I mentioned that  number of choices can affect usability:\r\n\r\n> However, less number of choices leads to better usability and I believe users appreciate it in Backdrop. My only consideration is that any improvement should not harm existing users.\r\n\r\nYou then wrote:\r\n\r\n> @kkomelin I just re-read your comment, and I believe I better understand now. When you said existing users you were talking about Backdrop users - those already using the module. You didn't want to change their sites by adding rel=nofollow to all links. Gotcha!\r\n\r\nSorry if my comment was not clear. Now you understand it correctly.\r\n\r\n> Well, from some quick googling it looks like it's generally a bad idea to add rel=nofollow links to social media, and that makes me think it definitely shouldn't be a setting.\r\n\r\nHere is a use case when rel=nofollow necessary, at least for me. You're an event site owner and you'd like to make search engines \"nofollow\" social links of a big number of users. \r\n\r\nTo sum up, the rel=nofollow implemented as an option because:\r\n1) Current users of Backdrop module can continue using it without any changes. Nothing will change for then until they want it. (respect to current users)\r\n2) The rel=nofollow option is necessary in some cases, not in all cases.\r\n\r\nHowever, as I have already mentioned:\r\n> ... as a Backdrop founder, you might have own vision, so feel free to decide.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, I can't afford spending more time on the matter, so:\r\n> I will support your decision."}}
