The button is useless because Google is shutting down the service as stated here.

Rather than removing it, I think we should replace it with something else, to keep the layout of the share buttons the same.

Yeah, exactly my thought. Seems like it's not there. Though how do we do that with Mastodon, given its federatedness?

@Shifterovich You can find an example of share button on this project: https://github.com/Aly-ve/Mastodon-share-button

Edit: Basically, you just need to call the mastodon scheme: web+mastodon://share?text=YOUR_TOOT.

Edit²: But there is also https://sharetomastodon.github.io/ which is a fork of the tool used by Share To Diaspora (What PrivacyTools already use to share on Diaspora).
