About Danbooru and social networks

I was wondering why doesn't danbooru have the option to "like" something on Facebook, "tweet" it or simply share it via e-mail?...

Eh, I generally abhor such buttons, and find them annoying.

But anyway, I think one reason for not having them is that they would go against Danbooru's minimal design. Not that I'm speaking officially or anything.

I sure like the idea of telling Facebook what sort of porn I enjoy!

If you really wanted to, you could do all those things without Danbooru adding any special buttons. Just use the URL...

There was a big fuss when people realized their "real-world" usernames could get associated with Danbooru due to Google spidering the site. I doubt a lot of people are going to want to provide explicit links between Danbooru and social media sites that link to their actual names and identities.

I think the final say as to whether or not Danbooru supports social network integration belongs to albert.

Well I wouldn't my real identity to be associated with my Danbooru username. Although I wouldn't mind using Twitter or Facebook to share good (and work safe) images with others. The explicit advertisements, however, prevent me from doing so and direct linking leads to an access denied error (403?).

You only get that error when the server detects that the image was referred to from another site (to prevent hot-linking).

When this happens, you can select the address bar and hit enter, which'll reload the page and remove the referrer information (unlike simply refreshing the page), allowing the image to load.

I'll have to try that out. Thanks for the tip Bapapbooiee.

The irreverent tag-strings after the post IDs hit me sour the same way that &feature=related does on YouTube links.

ITYM "irrelevant", and that can be remedied by only copy-pasting the URL up to the post ID.

Nah, I meant to use irreverent, since any tag string posted elsewhere was, at some time, relevant, but it's all a big jumble of "wuh?" that, TBH, I have no idea towards it existence in the first place. At least changing tags doesn't break links, right?

As for not copying that part, I assure, I do what I can to crop off superfluous sections of anything (Amazon is a bitch, though), but "hell is other people" and all that...

I hate the like button. It's a pointless addition, and would go against danbooru's design in my opinion. also, lol liking some hot yuri explicit sex penis vagina tagged image.

There is a like button bookmarklet out there, for those of you out there who are lost without the ability to instantly inform your social circle about things that you enjoy.

The tag strings are impertinent and insolent?

Just look at 'em! Thinkin' there's somethin' special, hogging up all that URL text. They aren't even decent-natured enough to allow each other coexistence, even cutting each other off mid-tag, if need be! I say they all need a good, long time-out session.
