This was suggested to me before, but other sections have URLS like https://ep2026.europython.eu/#krakow - don't we want to be consistent? And does the hash even matter?

[hugovk]

I don't think we need them, they look a bit weird, and when I click around the site, I don't see any hashes like this in URLs (not counting mid-page anchors)

@hugovk I don't really know why, but this change breaks LinkedIn sharing by removing the URL, by clipping everything after the last question including the URL:

I don't really know why, but this change breaks LinkedIn sharing by removing the URL, by clipping everything after the last question including the URL:

Hmm, this is what Claude suggests:

Root cause: The ? introduced in commit c191e31 ("What about you:" → "What about you?").
The text is sent correctly encoded as %3F, but LinkedIn's shareActive flow decodes the
text parameter and re-parses it internally, so a literal ? in the decoded text truncates
everything after it. The # characters are not the issue — prod's URL contained /#bingo
and shared intact, so the new hashtags can stay.

The fix in src/components/island/BingoCard.svelte:51: buildShareText() now takes a
forLinkedIn flag. LinkedIn gets the ?-free "What about you:" phrasing, while X, Bluesky,
and Mastodon keep "What about you?". A comment notes the LinkedIn quirk so nobody
reintroduces it.

Worth verifying with a real LinkedIn account before merging, since this behavior is
entirely on LinkedIn's side and undocumented — the diagnosis rests on the prod-vs-PR
comparison in Daria's screenshots. If you'd rather not have per-network phrasing, the
alternative is reverting to "What about you:" everywhere.

But we can just change "What about you?" back to "What about you:" for a quick fix.
