Because that would break the “copy link” functionality.

You can make a service that interoperates with Bluesky, such as a firehose view, without getting harassed by thousands of users.

But do you have any evidence that Bluesky is doing that? It has nothing to do with this post.

Does that also mean I should not browse any websites I don’t already know? That’s very limiting.

If you take a rectangle and identify (glue together) the left and right edge as well as the top and bottom edge, which seems to be what you’re suggesting, you get a torus.

Is there anything bad that can happen if you just click a link without logging in or anything? How is it different from opening up a random search result?

That would be toroidal geometry, and it opens up the question of other geometries, such as the Klein bottle.

The good thing about CLIs is that if they suck too much, you can easily create a wrapper around them.

How would link hijacking help with that? They can just track/rewrite directly without going through an intermediate step. The other commenter’s explanation seems more plausible.

One reason why pronouns exist is that you don’t need to know someone in order to be able to refer to them. Forcing people to use someone’s preferred pronouns defeats the purpose.

Because a pronoun is not a name.

My Android phone (Realme) allowed me to uninstall most pre-installed bloatware.
