The referenced file is not the one I changed either.

We have changed how we handle social icons and their links in the footer. Please refer README for migration details or lock remote_theme to an older commit.

[dougbreaux]

Yep, that did the trick, thanks. Specifically, the change of yaml format/content under social_links, as described https://github.com/jekyll/minima#social-networks

Thanks @dougbreaux that helped me solve my issue
