Rel=me links are wrong

Hosting on Micro.blog

I changed some settings for my micro.blog today and to verify some changes I looked on the generated source of my blog and saw that for whatever reason Micro.blog generated some old/wrong link rel=me in the header.
The thing is, I can’t find the setting in Design, Plugins or account were to change these names. The config.json refers to a TWITTER_USERNAME, GITHUB_USERNAME and so on, but were is this configured?
It even shows a Instagram rel=me which I don’t use anymore:

<link rel="me" href="https://micro.blog/renem" />

	<link rel="me" href="https://twitter.com/rretsiem" />


	<link rel="me" href="https://github.com/rretsiem" />


	<link rel="me" href="https://instagram.com/rene.meister" />

Any tips would be helpful.

Nevermind, I found it, of course after posting here.
I did not expect that to be deep in the Account → Apps → below all the Access Tokens section.

I think we need to remove that setting, or at least move it somewhere else. You’re right, it’s pretty confusing… It was under “Apps” because originally it was used for signing in with IndieAuth via other services like Twitter.

One of my high school CS tutees was asking me this last week: Is there any tangible benefit to rel=me in a anchor tag, beyond perhaps verifying site ownership e.g. for Mastodon?

Somewhere to view all the parameters passed to Hugo, and to edit what makes sense to edit, would be super appreciated

One way to see exactly what Micro.blog sends through Hugo is to use Posts → “…” → Export → “Export theme and Markdown”. That will show you the config file and frontmatter for each post.
