It’s very noisy. For anons, it’s literally the only “button” on posts, so there was an extra line under every post with a single button dangling there.[/quote]  
Agreed. So move the button. Make it a bit smaller, put it to the right of the timestamp.

I don’t know Ember.js well enough, but positioning a button in a div depending on some state like “logged in” can normally be done with CSS and minimal JS.

No. Anonymous user or not, in a lot (if not most) forums, the user will want to share a link to a specific _post_ if that post is important to him/her/it.

Example case: “Ooooh, [here’s](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-the-most-awesome-plugin-for-discourse-that-does-not-yet-exist/31/) an awsome image of a double rainbow!!!”. Happy scrolling.
