Just right-clicked a link in a mastodon post and copied it then sent it to someone and only then did it finally occur to me that it was completely a unfucked-with link. Not some BS redirect link that tracks where it came from and who I sent it to. Just a regular link.

@airspeedswift May be noteworthy as well that there's a browser extension which removes tracking tokens from URLs as you browse!

GitHub - ClearURLs/Addon: ClearURLs is an add-on based on the new WebExtensions technology and will automatically remove tracking elements from URLs to help protect your privacy.

@levi @airspeedswift
Not a programmer, but is there an extension that will replace the content after the = in the tracking code with ‘NeverGonnaGiveYouUp’ then ‘NeverGonnaLetYouDown’ and so on?

Why give nothing when you can give junk 😉
