At the moment, you can only share a request via X (formerly Twitter), Facebook and Medium.

We have serious concerns about the impact X and Facebook is having on civil society, and the option for Medium is rarely used.

It would be good if social media options could be expanded to include a wider range of social media - Mastodon and Bluesky appear to be a good starting point, however I'm sure there are other platforms from other areas of the world that would also be good to have.

One could envision using the Web Share API, which allows a website to use a system's in-built share function. This won't work for all devices, but could be a useful addition.

That looks quite a nice option. I like the idea of a more platform agnostic approach.
