You mean on HN because we won't see the domain next to the link?

- allenbrunson 17y agourl shorteners are banned on news.yc. i expect pg will eventually get around to banning this one as well, once he's aware of it.
- arnorhs 17y agoOk, I didn't know about that. I can understand why they would seem unwanted, even though I don't see a reason to ban them, since I'd think links with shortened URLs would simply not be voted up in the first place...
- arnorhs 17y agoWhy am I being down voted? I'm trying to understand this guy's opinion. I don't understand why he made that comment, so I was wondering if it was a rule on HN or if he simply didn't like URL shorteners in general.
- henrikschroder 17y agoDunno why you got voted down, but it's a rule here not to use them. URL-shorterners are very handy sometimes but here they are completely unnecessary, there's no 140-char limit...
