If so, why permit any arbitrary target for this 'joke' tool?
Instead have it resolve all links to a page that says 'don't click on shortened URLs'.
You get your joke and curious recipients get a lesson.
I'm sure this was fun to program but beyond that I don't think it should be disseminated.
- pjc50 9y agoshrug It's the web. Any link can redirect you to any other link.
- jstanley 9y agoPerhaps we should start a rival service. It gives you urls like https://upstandingcitizenry.com/peace-and-love-and-ponies https://upstandingcitizenry.com/peace-and-love-and-ponies except instead of redirecting you to a safe URL, it drive-by downloads some malware, fills your screen with porn popups, and uses your CPU for monero mining. Maybe that would spread your message better? You obviously don't get the joke. The joke is that it looks shady but is actually perfectly fine. If every URL tells you "don't click on things that look shady", then the joke is gone.
