Write up verification of Metafilter minimal profiles for non-members #35

Related to #14 .

We've got via social links covered, can we use a link in the blurb along with a minimal profile to non-logged-in peeps? I could test this with mefi dot social or mefiwiki accounts. I worked out some of this on a comment in a Metatalk post, but I should actually test it.

I tested with mefi dot social, without success, with or without trailing slash. curl and grep shows no difference.

It looks like Metafilter makes it <a rel="nofollow" rel="me", which might get in the way. I tried rel="me nofollow", but it got duplicated again.

I made a small tool to check verification. From a local test:

this doesn't work:
- <a rel="nofollow" rel="me" href=... - this is what's currently emitted
these would work:
- <a rel="me nofollow" href=...
- <a rel="nofollow me" href=...

I'll contact the mods, and probably link here, for context and later reference.
