I've been vociferously preaching this for a couple of years now (It's refreshing to see someone else espousing the same), and although for a while it looked like #Bibliogram and #Invidious might be seeing their days as numbered, many hurdles have been overcome, and they have since enjoyed much use and exposure with the explosion of many new folks providing these essential community services.

With respect to #UntrackMe, if we're just talking #Fediverse and not someone openly surfing and sharing via the clearnet, then #Fedilab has all of this functionality baked into it :) A couple of years back, the Fediverse seemed a caustic place with the introduction of means to disseminate blocklists, etc., and even some nefarious developers crippled their Android clients from being able to connect to various random Fediverse instances based on the ideologies of those evil and cringe developers.

Fedilab was rather young in its evolutionary development, but already one of the most stable and without a doubt the most featureful of all #Android based Fediverse apps - Tom chose NOT to implement non-free, censor-affirming aspects into his client, took a lot of heat, ridicule from radical haters, but stood his ground so that Fedilab eventually was one among only a handful of other Android based Fediverse apps that was truly free, and due to his decision not to convert it into dystopian #crippleware, the entire suite of Fediverse applications and services at #Framagit are today remain among the most respected reliable of suites available.

So getting back on point, I actually operate a few Fediverse servers where, as per the well posted terms, it is an instantly bannable offense to post unsanitized links into the deprecated, proprietary, privacy disrespecting and monolithic silos such as #Faceplant, #Twatter (use Nitter), #InstaSPAM (Use Bibliogram), #Reddit (Use Teddit), or #YouTube (Use Invidious), and on the servers where it is not an immediately banhammerable offense, it is highly discouraged.

The idea is for those vertical institutions to die, withering on the vine, and the slide has already begun toward that place where #Myspace currently resides, waiting for the others to follow.

People who actually do still participate on those deprecated legacy vertical platforms should be encouraged to post links into the Fediverse, but not the other way around. Of course the best policy is just to completely disregard those deprecated legacy silos and insignificant and of no value whatsoever - to expedite their demise.

The choices available for the masses choosing to enter and participate on the Fediverse are astounding. Coherent messaging in the form of marketing on those deprecated legacy silos really needs to be a call of action, a purpose, for those of us who espouse the virtues of FOSS, privacy, and release from subjugation.
