The redesigned profile fields are now on mastodon.social.

I wasn't too sure when I first saw the mockups, but I'm starting to like this.

This is a pretty nice change. The existing profile fields are one of the most “90s web design vibe” parts of Mastodon.

I'm going to need to redesign my custom profile field CSS when the next dot release of Mastodon comes out.

Check out https://fietkau.social/@julian in your web browser if you'd like to see what the links on my profile look like right now. I think I'll probably stick with the basic concept: customizing the visible link text, adding icons, and deemphasizing the verification.
