My love language is removing tracking parameters from urls before sharing.
@misswired you have not started changing them? I do “none of your beeswax “ or mastodon often
@misswired Using the ClearURLs plugin, some other plugin or by hand?
@psa By hand.
@misswired @psa Firefox can do it automatically now. 🔥
@dalias @misswired Ah, I see "Copy without Site Tracking" is an option even with ClearURLs turned off now. Sweet, one less plugin!
@misswired And testing the buggers for paywallisms..
And absolutely binning *all* the NewsCorp ones.
And unshortening! That too.
@misswired my language is setting up a fun blog with out any tracking.
@misswired Is that something you can teach me to do?

@MAMaverick @misswired

If you see a link like http://example.com/whatever?utm_source=thisblog then you can remove the “?utm_source=thisblog” and the link will still work.

Often (but not always) all the query parameters (“?” And everything after) can be removed while sharing and nothing will break; the easiest way to know is to try the truncated URL yourself and see if it shows what you expect.

@misswired this post got me excited to share that Firefox does this for you in the context menu when right-clicking links 🥰

@teacherbuknoy @misswired It won't do it for Farcebroke because the darn thing is embedded (the link is never what it says it is)...

AND, yes, real, unshortened links with no tracky bits is 

@misswired Absolutely; if I can remember to do that, me too.
@misswired My love language is not boosting image posts without good alt text.
@misswired @Heliograph i too have this ability
@franksting I'm notorious 🙈 can't help it, just love clean uris @misswired
@misswired Now that's a language I understand ❤️
@misswired I’m glad it’s not only me who does this
