EDIT 2: Sorry I’m too much of a wimp to even happy-prank people
I tried buddy 😔
We killed it!
Lemmy hug of death
I guess there’s a pretty short lifespan on these links haha
Well, here it is https://youtu.be/Gu_hxO9iDi8

listen here, you little shit
Cm0002:
waltzes into chat about deceptive links
clicks a deceptive link
realizes they have been deceived
Cm0002: “No, it is the person who posted the deceptive link who is wrong”.
Lmao, it’s less about the deception and more about where it led to 😂
Its all good. I’m glad it came across as good natured ribbing, lol.
Jokes on you I saw the ad first.
3/4 of screen space filled with ads, how do you live like this?
I don’t use yt on my phone. I was actually interested what op put behind the link. I thought it would be a rickroll, but yk, I had to click it. I know, it hurts me too, seeing other people suffer so many ads. Also this is my newest phone and I don’t have the time to spend tinkering around ad free stuff.
Don’t have time, but have time to click suspicious links in case it’s a Rick roll?
Fair point.
Looks like it got too creepy for its own good.
Link shorteners and redirectors, especially new and lesser-known ones tend to get caught in the fray with things like Google Safe Browsing (which FF uses as well) and Smart Screen.
It’s because the original/shortened link gets reported and not the real/destination site. Then the domain (of the shortener/redirector) gets flagged, instead of the real site.
This happened to me at work this very week, with a redirector service that’s a part of our email security stack. FF and Chrome were both blocking links that were safe, because the redirector service itself was classified as sus.
Firefox on Android doesn’t even have the “ignore” option :(
Pretty sure its under a more info dropdown
I didn’t have that, but I use Firefox Nightly.
And I also just found I can no-problem go to https://revoked.grc.com/ 😬
So it doesn’t even check for revoked certificates (but at least Fennec does).
I totally believe this works, but there’s no way I’m clicking on any of those links
I expect most of them are Rickrolls.
A similar one here: https://phishyurl.com/
Holy shit, they’re not messing around, and that’s with the “Normal” setting
Also love the alleged directory structure
Absolutely scary 😬 But link “shortener” may be the wrong name in this case
I don’t think it purports to be a shortener, just a susener
What even is the point of URL shorteners? I always understood it as a Twitter thing, but I see them more outside of Twitter.
I think sometimes it gives people analytics on how many people click the link when the link is to something they themselves don’t control. But I’m not entirely sure if that’s a common service shorteners offer.
Easier to memorize/type, that’s about it.
Replaced by (unsafer) QR codes as of late and can still hide analytics.I find it handy for writing down a URL on paper
Okay, grandpa.
JK
Paper may be old-fashioned but I need something light for the carrier pigeon
I’ve heard papyrus is a great medium.
Jokes aside, hand-writing and reading actually helps out the brain.
CreepyLink to CreepyLink: https://web-safe.link/root_EXyoFH_claim_gift_card.mp4
Thunder app tries to load mp4 💀
Firefox is not playing around
this got me rickrolled (after so long)
My ISP, O₂CZ (who collaborates with an Israeli cybersecurity company to “protect” (and spy on) everyone with default DNS settings) also blocks this one
Here’s the link to this very post: https://update.ic6do.com/PFUTPY_secure_login_page.scr
Here’s my creepy link: https://verify.ic6do.com/Y8kl04_system_optimizer
https://login.ic6do.com/Cvn6qa_video_player_update.pl
Definitely would not normally click
This is so funny and useless, I love it
