Might be just copied from xitter. The good thing - it can be fixed in the original post :)

@BrentToderian @luciedigitalni Indeed. URL shorteners are:

- A tracking risk.
- Fragile.
- Obscure where the link's going.
- Pointless even on instances with a small character count limit as Mastodon counts a fixed number of characters (24?) per URL irrespective of the URL's actual length.
