Also while I think of it, why do links go to the microcosm.app shortener where when you mouse over them you can't see what the true destination is?
This is really annoying. It's weird that @Velocio is generally so security conscious but the site is designed to hide links so you have no idea what website you'll end up on if you click a link.

Because tracking your clicks and attempting to monetise the information that provides about you is how surveillance capitalism works. The alternative would be to pay subscription fees for access to pretty much any website which isn't in itself a shop front.

It brings me to the same wrong link with the lfgss bit added in front.
