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

welp, at least it's avoidable for now instead of being hashed inside identifier (it adds a tracker after a video link)

[–] LittleFellaNamedBoof@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

but sadly all it takes is one moment of not thinking of it and someone posts a youtube link to Hexbear and doxxes their google account which is linked to their real identity usually. For a commie site where opsec matters that's a big concern.

always be privatemodemaxxing on social media, if clean-links extension is not working for (say) phone

Always use clean links! Although we should really be using tankie.tube anyway. If you want to share a youtube video, download it with yt-dlp and upload to tankie.tube.

Somebody who is very cool and good should set up a page that can do it for you server-side
