@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!

@angelo #LinkShorteners are just bad - period!

@ThinkingSapien this is espechally useful as #Twitter (legal or not) also banned #LinkShorteners and went after sites like #Linktree...

Can't speak for other #instances but for mastodon.world, the limit is 500, which is around 80% more characters per toot compared to tweets and some instances have #nolimit

Also, only the first 15 characters of a link count (so no need for #LinkShorteners, thus improving #security

There is no need to use link shorteners on Mastodon.
For reference:

Link shorteners may apply additional tracking mechanisms to your users, because that is how they finance the service (examples: Twitter, trib.al).

In Mastodon, this is neither necessary nor is Mastodon tracking your links.

THANX!

You don't need to use link shorteners on Mastodon. All links count as 23 characters no matter how long they really are.

Also, links on Mastodon stay in the form you wrote them. This is much better for privacy than Twitter.

Twitter quietly changes all posted links to go via Twitter's domain t.co so they can track people. This doesn't happen on Mastodon or the Fediverse.

You can see this hidden conversion in Twitter by hovering your mouse over a link there, the link appears to show a normal address but Firefox and other browsers will indicate the true t.co address in the bottom left corner of the screen. If you try this same check on Mastodon or the Fediverse, you will see your links stay just as you wrote them.
