Ads are coming to bit.ly links
Enshittification is coming:
Beginning in the next month, when users click Bitly links or QR Codes, they may see a preview page prior to being directed to the destination URL. The page includes information about the link destination and may include advertising.
You must log in or register to comment.
It is (was) a service that redirected a short URL like bit.ly/customurl to www.example.com/extremely/long/path/to/share/and/type?parameter=crazy&anotherparameter=long
perfect for sharing
Edit: removed the potentially dangerous link thanks to @dabda@DABDA@lemm.ee
You can escape the . in a URL to break the markdown auto-linking:
bit\.ly/customurldisplays as:
bit.ly/customurlBut it seems there is a 2048 character limit, so unfortunately no storing of files in base64 data URI.
