How does it break them?
As far as I can see, the only bit that matters is what appears to be a hash at the end. In this case: 3ee86657d6c9. That is, https://blog.x.company/3ee86657d6c9 https://blog.x.company/3ee86657d6c9 is the same post.
I don't know how this is substantially+notably different to how other blog platforms do urls.
- reitanqild 10y agoProblem is everone gets a new url. Haven't foun a good way to check if one link to medium is the same as another. This breaks a number of things like duplicate checking for news aggregators and tag suggestions for bookmarking services. Edit: checking now it seems at keast the part before hash stayed unchanged after copy-pasting into another browser and loading. Have they changed or have I misunderstood the whole time?
- throwanem 10y agoI don't think they've changed; if they have, it wasn't recent. Stripping the hash doesn't break anything that I've noticed - I assume it hoses their "share this story" tracking, but I don't really care about that.
