@armact
These days there are none that we know of, but good news is Mastodon caps URLs #characterCount to the low twenties, this means even if you URL is 500 characters long, not only will the scrolling user only see about 25 characters, the character count only goes up by about 23 characters.

Other instances have larger character counts typically, so that's good too.

So there is no real need for #URLShortening on online social networks.

If you want us to a look at some, happy to help.

Now that tinyURL have turned into anus it seems a good time to ask, is there an alternative #URLShortening service that isn't garbage?

Aggiornato https://s.devol.it il servizio di #URLShortening del collettivo #devol

Basato sul progetto open #LSTU, è anonimo e non ha alcun sistema di tracciamento e profilazione

SI può personalizzare ogni #URL accorciato e creare i #QRCode. Gestisce l'elenco di link accorciati e visualizza il numero di click per ogni link creato

Non serve creare un account: tutto l'elenco degli URL accorciati può essere esportato e conservato per essere importato su un altro dispositivo o altro browser.
