Youtube is apparently rolling out a new change where when you share a video link it will share you profile with whoever clicks it.
Video with info on it here(CW: Reactionary/fash stuff on screen at times): https://youtu.be/oFx46sqo8O0
Everyone should be aware of this especially when sharing to something like hexbear. It can break your anonymity without you even realizing.
CW to that video for all the hitlerite bullshit
@dessalines@lemmy.ml is this something that lemmy could automatically check for on post submission as a feature?
We’re using a crate a community member created called clearurls to scrub all markdown fields and url type links of tracking params before even inserting them to the DB. It uses the ClearUrls data which is really popular.
It might already work for these links, but I don’t know. Someone would need to test it on https://voyager.lemmy.ml/ . If it doesn’t, we’d just need to check the clearurls data (I’m fairly positive they’ve accounted for this already a long time ago), and update the crate.
