Would the URLcheck app on android filter this out, or not because of the way it's being done?

How is this technically possible? When I hover over a link, my browser informs me it takes me somewhere; then when I click it, it takes me to go.bluesky. Is the destination changing at the moment the click occurs? Why are they hiding this?

Absolutely shocked, no one could have predicted this

You mean the company that was created by the worst of pre-Musk Twitter leadership, that claims to be open source and federated but actually isn't, that uses AI to moderate itself, and that has a policy that lets AI scrapers use your posts is actually bad? I'm shocked. Shocked!

It's time to delete Bluesky and use Mastodon full time!

Doesn't this (at most) make it a bit easier for the destination site to track sources? It's been a couple decades since I did much web log analysis, but the referring URL is part of each log record I believe.

They wouldn't only want to know that a click came from Bluesky. They'd like to know all their referring sites, so the go.bsky.app redirect probably would be of little use unless it encoded something significant not present in the HTTP_REFERER header.
