@jwildeboer There should be enough characters here to ditch that particular Twitter habit.
I have an instance of self-hosted link shortener YOURLS, but I use it to make shortlinks for myself for complicated links...

@mjj No matter how long the link is, it only counts as 23 characters in a post. There’s no need to use a “shortener service” which is just a nice sounding name for data hoovers trying to build analytics to sell.

@jwildeboer I remember in the Indieweb context people talking about permashortlinks - indieweb.org/permashortlink
Although I am not sure the arguments listed are all that solid.

@mjj @jwildeboer

Links also always count as 23 characters regardless of actual length. So the only reason to use a URL shortener like bit.ly is tracking.
