Used google for a thing. (I know, first mistake)

Couldn't find a good link in the search results, but the AI overview mentioned something along the same lines as I was looking.

Clicked on the source from the AI overview.

It was fully a phising URL.

Three things I’ve done recently; that if you run a website you might like to do;

1. Removed Twitter specific meta tags - at this point it’s wasted bytes. Stick to open graph stuff.

2. Updated links going to Twitter accounts to their website - a good 70% were clearly abandoned accounts

3. Removed links to tweets - they are paywalled now.

This reduces page weight; gives crawlers less work to do; and improves user experience.

Just met the chair of the East Belfast @greenpartyni@mastodon.ie for a coffee and a chat.

Lovely guy, lovely party! Looking forward to getting involved in some small way 💚

@Lewie_Kong@retro.pizza I thought it was “chee”!

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @MastodonEngineering@mastodon.social I want this.

The only two issues I can see;

• overhead of having a MD parser, some security considerations but basically a solved problem with Ruby tooling
• links would be an amazing win, but also a vector for abuse [go here] (haha I’m taking you there, not here!) unsure if that’s worth considering.
