rel="me" is intended for identity verification and generally only works reliably when linking from the verifying site to the profile without target="_blank" semantics; some verifiers are strict about the exact link relation and/or the browsing context. Consider only adding target="_blank" (and noopener noreferrer) for non-rel_me links, or make target_blank configurable per-link in the data so the Mastodon link can omit it while preserving the behavior for other links.

<a href="{{ link.url }}" target="_blank" rel="{% if link.rel_me %}me {% endif %}noopener noreferrer" aria-label="{{ link.label }}" title="{{ link.label }}">
<i class="{{ link.icon_class }}" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</a>
{% if link.rel_me %}
<a href="{{ link.url }}" rel="me" aria-label="{{ link.label }}" title="{{ link.label }}">
<i class="{{ link.icon_class }}" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</a>
{% else %}

{% endif %}
