Hah, I wanted to share this article from It's FOSS News on here but don't want to cause the issue they describe in it, so I won't link to it directly.

They only mention in this article, but would this not be a wider issue on most platforms?

Here's the link broken up:

@beastman @xepher that's a neat idea, thank you for that.

@BeAware @xepher Thanks! It's a redirector which doesn't let chrome through, because I hate chrome. You are welcome to use it. Here is where you can make your own links.

@kyonshi @beastman @BeAware Hah, yeah I’m getting that too now. Maybe they had a point.

@xepher @beastman @BeAware not really maybe, it's been known for a while that this can happen. as great as the fediverse is, this is an issue

@kyonshi @beastman @BeAware It’s the first time I’ve heard about it, but it does make sense. Possibly just not widely known. Or I could just be out of the loop 🙂

@xepher @kyonshi @beastman not widely known, but long known by the people that need to know, yet they've done nothing about it. It's been known as an issue by Eugen since 2017...🤦‍♂️

@xepher @beastman @BeAware the problem is mostly academic until you actually get an article that gets widely shared. then it becomes pretty acute pretty quickly for smaller sites
