fedhow do I block freindica? Freindica allows markup to hide urls, one of the most basic of online safty layers.

Not just an instance, but the branch freindica

Umm... I'm not sure there is a way to block an entire type of server software.

By the way, do you mean there's a link behind a piece of text? The URL would still be visible if you hover though?

@feditips no hover on devices, and yes, its text, blue as a link, author says yes he can do it

@kevinrns

That's a very common link type on the internet though? Pretty much all links are like that.

You should be able to long-press on a link to see more details if you're on a touchscreen.

This is full out, flat out, nonsense.

"Phishing Attacks: The #1 Reason We Say “Don’t Click Links” "

2018 marked the first year since phishing statistics were recorded that compromised accounts had a higher occurrence rate than malware infections. Malware infections generally occur when you download a file or click a link that’s infected. They can also come from a vulnerability in your network that isn’t related to a specific email message.

@kevinrns

I might be missing something?

Can you explain the difference for me between these links and the ordinary links you see on most websites?

@kevinrns

I understand that, but there are already ways to see what a link's true URL is by hovering or long-pressing?

I will be warning that Mastodon and friendica are ruining our safety.

On top of "what harm could the assholes who put trump in office with Cambridge Analytica do" on Meta, and starts looking like another step on the way to a real social media system.

And Not the destination.

I'm sorry, I would love to help but I don't understand what the problem is?

Surely all websites and web links are using this same format?

@feditips

Phishing can be looked up, security professionals could be contacted, research is certainly needed. Automatically exposing any hidden urls in the text of the post, is a helpful protocol.

Doesnt wordpress do that in comments?
