This has absolutely nothing to do with enshittification. Bluesky doesn’t need that redirect to know what you’re clicking on. You’re already on their platform, they can already track every single click that you do while on Bluesky including navigating to outbound links. I’m a bit shocked that nobody here is calling that out to be honest

Just because they have other means of doing link tracking doesn’t mean they aren’t using this link proxying to track stuff.
So why?
Facebook does the same, even in their own in-app browser to keep tracking you.
