Set nofollow on links in Markdown content
To disincentivize spamdexing, links in user-generated content should be disavowed by annotation with `rel="nofollow"` attributes: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow Automated spam has already targeted OSEM in the wild: - https://github.com/SeaGL/organization/issues/274 Ideally link annotation would be performed during Markdown rendering or a single sanitization pass, but this is currently an unresolved issue: - https://github.com/vmg/redcarpet/issues/720
