Similar module - Social Media Links

The Social Media Links Block and Field module is different functionality from this module because it is for placing links to your (the web site's) social networks.

The purpose of this module is to allow content (e.g., a node) to be shared on a visitor's own social media sites. However, the the web site owner can still choice which social media networks to provide the functionality for.

I'm not sure why the maintainer of "Better Social Sharing" felt the need to create a brand new module instead of reaching out to perhaps collaborate with this module. I was not aware of its existence until you posted this.

The AddtoAny, ShareThis, etc type modules allow those companies to collect data on your users. Well, that opens up a can of worms to for GDPR compliance or new laws for privacy in some US states, such as California.

Hi Shelane, thanks for helping to parse this out.

So "Social Media Links Block and Field" is the only one for links to the website's social networks?

And all three:

• Better Social Sharing Buttons
• Better Social Share
• AddToAny Share Buttons

- provide links to share node/entity content on visitor's social channels?

I do not know who created what first, etc. - but I do see value in maintainers of different, but analogous functionality modules at minimum discussing, with the hope of potentially collaborating to join forces, experience, knowledge, energy, and resources to create one, best practices, best supported module.
