Same with formatting a phone number

There are still lots of tracking parameters it doesn’t remove. It does not bypass redirects like doubleclick.net/redirect?url=..., either.

I’d prefer if it worked with personal and community managed filters, like every good adblocker does now.

It’ll warn you before you go to shit tracking redirectors though.

The point is to bypass them, so it won’t go to https://click-tracker.com/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Findex.php%23content%3Fpage%3Dwelcome%26say%3Dhello&clickID=a68bd9003 but https://example.com/index.php#content?page=welcome&say=hello already.

there’s even an extension to do that automatically, clearurls if i recall correctly

I didn’t know about that! I always use Ctrl+C of course. I’ll look out for this next time

I guess I really love everyone because I’ve just always done that

Me too, but just to screw over Amazon’s social graph making.

Sometimes I throw garbage in there just got fun ☺️

It’s less love and more spite.

Screenshotting a post from another fediverse app seems a bit crazy. As an alternative, this post is available natively in lemmy, as text and from the original author (so you can reply to him if you’d like).

I can’t give a universal link to a post obviously, but if you’re on lemmy.world, it’s here: https://lemmy.world/post/11631169, and if you’re not, it’s available on the !tails@lemmon.website community.

even on the federated web, you can’t escape the screenshots

The referent of a link can be changed or deleted. A screenshot cannot.

Let’s just be thankful they actually took a screenshot and didn’t take a picture of the screen with their phone.

It’s a step up as long as it stays that way and reposters know they can save the screenshot instead of screenshotting the screenshot.

…seems a bit crazy. …

I can’t give a universal link to a post obviously …

Tee-hee :) Point taken though!

No way to cross post is there?

Also would be neat to have a blended account feature - infosec.exchange is defederated from sh.itjust.works even though we’re OK I swear. Might be time to raise that discussion again.

Anyway only seeing this because of the repost. And for the visually paired (easy of seeing?) (not blind?), screenshots of text can sometimes have a je ne sais quoi. A bit of text fitting just so in the right font, maybe a light background breaking the monotony of one’s dark mode…

Screenshots, surprisingly resilient in $current_year. One day Lemmy could autotranscribe screenshots and include original post date, platform, author… maybe how deep fried it was too.

Honestly I feel like a screenshot of a toot is better than just seeing a Lemmy-formated toot.

Maybe a cross-post feature which generates what the screenshot effectively shows but formatted in html to match mastodon formatting with functioning links that’s hosted on the instance the Lemmy community is in to avoid federation issues?

Edit to add: on the other hand I regularly forward the screenshots to friends on other platforms, so I’d either screenshot the thing created to stop screenshots or need a share/download button to create a image because I know my friends ain’t interested in clicking a wierd fediverse link to view a 2 sentence joke they may or may not find funny

We’re stuck with the HTML formatting that lemmy provides us, unfortunately. It’s not just about an image vs. text though - it’s also about being from the original author. OP for this post is getting plenty of replies, but I’ve no idea if it’s an issue they care about, or just something they saw and found passingly amusing.

As for sending on, a screenshot to friends on non-ActivityPub platforms is more reasonable (although being text means you could just copy/paste it, and then include any friends with vision impairments too).

But yeah, there’s lots of pro’s to a screenshot that I don’t have an argument against (I posted in this thread, but it’s not like I’m going to show up everytime someone yoinks something from Mastodon)

Yeah, cross-posts would be a new post from me, rather than the original from e.g. George Takei, which isn’t ideal.

I hadn’t really thought about defederation between servers running both Mastodon and Lemmy. I guess that post wouldn’t show up on sh.itjust.works (I’ll have a look if anyone subscribes from there)

Here’s the most recent post I (on justworks) see:

Defederation can hurt

Neither of those links load in Voyager, so I think a screenshot is great.

What’s happened for you there isn’t a problem for screenshots to really fix - it’s whatever frontend you’re using not giving lemmy’s backend enough time to fetch a remote community. This happens loads - I even made a little video about it the other day: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/13703060

When you clicked on !tails@lemmon.website, it did actually go through to dbzer0, and Voyager has no trouble with the community once it’s though. A little ironically perhaps, but here’s a hastily combined screenshot showing it at dbzer0 and on Voyager:

edit: and the link to the post of course: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/13850191

Sorry, maybe I’m being a bit dense, but I don’t really understand what you mean. ‘This post’ as in the post on microblogmemes?
