Link shorteners are not needed on mastodon.
> All links are counted as 23 characters, no matter how long they actually are, so there is no need to use a link shortener to save characters. In fact, using a link shortener is actively discouraged.
@CultureDesk Hum.
Great to have flipboard aboard and all that, but why are you using a link shortener?
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/posting/
Your link to https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crmw0l30vk0o is shortened to https://flip.it/1Dee6f
The only reason I can see for doing this is tracking.
PSA for everyone on Mastodon: You don't need to use link shorteners. All links count as 23 characters, no matter what.
All a link shortener does is keep people from seeing where the link goes*. Many of us will refuse to boost posts with shortened links precisely because of this.
Please, just put the actual link in your post!
* And make your link become useless if the link shortening service ever goes away for any reason.)

PSA: Link shorteners are not needed in the fediverse.
If you regularly use link shorteners, I'm muting you.
"But I'm on a instance that requires me to... [some excuses.]"
Move to a sane instance.
Have a nice day.

@feditips In fact, #LinkShorteners are harmful since they prevent #Previews and obfuscate the destination, bricking #ShinigamiEyes in the process...
@chowderman @amayer @buermoy plz don't use #LinkShorteners as they are susceptible to #LinkRot.
The lack of #Resolve by #NATO members #UK & #USA to follow their obligations as per #BudapestMemorandum are seen as a sign of #weakness.
For the UK this was evident with the lack of reaction regarding the #PRC's violation of the Joint #SinoBritishDeclaration in #Hongkong.
Thus the #MilitaryAid is a sorry excuse for the lack of #BootsOnTheGround that would be expectable as per treaty.
@feditips also #LinkShorteners are extremely susceptible to #LinkRot and are easy to abuse for #malware, #scams and other bad actions!
