These days there are none that we know of, but good news is Mastodon caps URLs #characterCount to the low twenties, this means even if you URL is 500 characters long, not only will the scrolling user only see about 25 characters, the character count only goes up by about 23 characters.

Other instances have larger character counts typically, so that's good too.

So there is no real need for #URLShortening on online social networks.

If you want us to a look at some, happy to help.
