Cm0002:
waltzes into chat about deceptive links
clicks a deceptive link
realizes they have been deceived
Cm0002: "No, it is the person who posted the deceptive link who is wrong".
Lmao, it's less about the deception and more about where it led to 😂
Its all good. I'm glad it came across as good natured ribbing, lol.
Jokes on you I saw the ad first.

Once you see the XcQ it's too late.
It's true. If you recognize the URL enough to avoid it, then you've been rickrolled without even clicking it. Wirelessly brain rickrolled
Looks like it got too creepy for its own good.

Link shorteners and redirectors, especially new and lesser-known ones tend to get caught in the fray with things like Google Safe Browsing (which FF uses as well) and Smart Screen.
It's because the original/shortened link gets reported and not the real/destination site. Then the domain (of the shortener/redirector) gets flagged, instead of the real site.
This happened to me at work this very week, with a redirector service that's a part of our email security stack. FF and Chrome were both blocking links that were safe, because the redirector service itself was classified as sus.
Based on these ads, I do not trust the site anyway.

Love the concept, though.
Ad for an ad-blocker. Genius 🤣
Probably the only ad ever to hit exactly and only the correct target demographic.
Doubtful. If you still have ads in 2026 you never valued your own time, software, or consent anyways.
I wonder if it would be effective at blocking its own ads… 🤔
For a fee, probably
In Germany, we have https://fckaf.de/
A very good service by DIE PARTEI
Of course it would be them. Love it. Thanks for the link!

Holy shit, they're not messing around, and that's with the "Normal" setting
Also love the alleged directory structure
Absolutely scary 😬 But link "shortener" may be the wrong name in this case
I don't think it purports to be a shortener, just a susener
Pfft, I got one with TODO_Obfuscate_URL. I wish I saved it.
I totally believe this works, but there's no way I'm clicking on any of those links
Firefox is not playing around

My ISP, O₂CZ (who collaborates with an Israeli cybersecurity company to "protect" (and spy on) everyone with default DNS settings) also blocks this one
Aaaaaand shady link:
A fellow student!
aaaaand rocketship 8========>
it would be quite something, if the links actually went to/through malicious sites...
It's why they have a report feature. No idea how well they moderate things tho.
Site seems best for gags with friends.
This is so funny and useless, I love it
