As someone who ran a popular link shortening platform let me tell you how difficult it is to curtail spam links.
This is likely a way to warn users before being forwarded to fraudulent websites that a link has been marked as spam.
There are many other use cases for this redirect as well but this is the most obvious for user safety.
Doesn't sound plausible to me—If they can detect spam links like you're suggesting, why not just mask those links as bsky short links?
Would the URLcheck app on android filter this out, or not because of the way it's being done?
How is this technically possible? When I hover over a link, my browser informs me it takes me somewhere; then when I click it, it takes me to go.bluesky. Is the destination changing at the moment the click occurs? Why are they hiding this?
Absolutely shocked, no one could have predicted this
