PSA WHEN SHARING LINKS: Please remove anything that comes after a `?` in the url. It is a tracker and puts any Pede that clicks the link at risk of being doxxed by big tech.
Not quite. See mod comment.
Please be careful out there Pedes. ALWAYS check and clean your links before sharing.
EDIT:
Getting a lot of comments about valid use of query parameters (parts with the ? in a url).
It is true, not every query param needs to be removed from a url.
But if you are sharing anything from twitter, fb etc, please remove it (feel free to test the link before hand to make sure it is working)
Yeah this post is fuckin retarded and this is horrible advice
Query parameters are used in some capacity on nearly 100% of sites
Once you combine it with the feedback and suggestions in the comments, it's useful information.
Sure, this doesn't apply to 100% of links, but it does to links to MSM articles obtained from Facebook as well as tracking IDs on direct Twitter posts.
The fuckin retarded part is you don't need all that garbage to get to the intended site.
this is not true. 99% of query params are going to be for your user experience, with nothing to do with tracking. 1% of query params are for tracking. you just need to be familiar with where you are sharing links from, and know to remove specific sections from query params that are for tracking
