🤷

would keep malicious links out

nah the link was on offtopic yesterday

i luckily regonized the url within seconds

Ahhh

(as it was botted to couple of other channels i moderate too

yeah i copied it from there twitter

damn that suck

but yeah i realised that it was probly just honest "i want to share this one" after i had made the pinned messages there

you know the moderators "aww fuck that could be something bad"

then investigate after the thing has been taken down

but yeah for future "Buffer/buff.ly" links they collect shit ton of data from browser/app what you use to open the links (from ip/geolocation to fingerprintting browser quite agressively and https://lambda.sx/XOl.png follow you later on with cookies etc)

bad behaviour all in all from said company

Thanks i didnt know that

well "analytics" is their marketing field so~ user gets the data

but good rule of thumb is that 99% of "new/havent heard of this one" Shortened urls == bad

url shorteners are generaly bad if they mask the real adress

thinks like amzn.to what obviously poit to their own service (amazon) are good ones (i think aliexpress does something similar with their links)

but any tinyurl,shorturl, bit.ly , etc links are red flag

goo.gl <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

^good example of bad things

service is itself usefull but used for bad stuff

/csg/ link shortener when?

could be done

for example http://demo.polr.me/g (redirects to https://bestmotherfucking.website/)

that'd be neat.

but could really be anything under the earth

but from simple demoservice (They used to run it fulltime)

https://lambda.sx/4GG.png you get this shit

buffer does same but with 99% more personal stuff

nice website lol

(all your connected cookies,injects you with more, fingerprints,gets your installed language from windows and their adcode etc)

So yeah for everyone who is following this conversation.. for love of god dont use shortened urls(nor hugeurls)

knock knock its aliexpress

I'll stick to my long Ali URLs

just cut anything after ? and links are generaly good

generaly anything after ? is used for fingerprinting and tracking

you can even cut the ? <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

yep but its good marked where to cut it

there is some things what might break the sites if you start killing those ? .. for example "load-scrips.php?c=1&load[]=swfobjcet,plaaplapala"

might not load the definet objects properly
