@alfa_vuk@metalhead.club This is me talking with experience back when I download Minecraft mods around 2010s, some shorter URL link services are so dodgy that my Kaspersky won't stop sending notication that they blocked malware from being downloaded while had to wait 5 seconds for adf.ly to allow me to the website the URL shorter was heading to.

I totally get that Fedi can be preachy but URL shortner does have some issue and OP isn't overreacting
