Potentially not their fault: https://bsky.app/profile/bad-example.com/post/3lpcc566cks2i

piss.beauty•13 days ago

this doesn't happen on other websites

bad-example.com•13 days ago

yeah that was specific to that screen recording, but also, bsky does the redirect via a meta tag (client side) and i think there’s some kind of browser penalty for it maybe???

pfrazee.com•13 days ago

You know why we have to do that shit

Mobile apps don’t let you set the referer header

retr0.id•13 days ago

I wonder, does it work if you redirect to a data-uri html page that does the final redirect?

retr0.id•13 days ago

oh wait but then the referer wouldn't be there

mary.my.id•13 days ago

you could alleviate this on web at least by removing the noreferrer rel value from links

bad-example.com•13 days ago

yeah figured it was that. still wondering if there might be a browser penalty happening here, since meta redirects are olde and odd.

bad-example.com•13 days ago

like would adding also a JS window.location redirect actually maybe help

mosh.bsky.social•13 days ago

Or do sampling and extrapolate traffic from that? Only smack users 1 out of every 1,000 times?

piss.beauty•13 days ago

web users should be free of this tyranny

pfrazee.com•13 days ago

Well now we’re expanding it to implement safelink checks because there’s been a huge raft of account compromised via DMs… so

stop nerfing desktop users to make apple users feel special

travismh.bsky.social•11 days ago

but why is it so freaking slow? https://t.co does the same thing and is way faster

ianopolous.bsky.social•12 days ago

What about directly doing the http request in the app in the background with the correct referer, and opening the link directly straight away?

why.bsky.team•13 days ago

Its typescript so

goeo.lol•12 days ago

what logic does it need to do anyway

why.bsky.team•12 days ago

Run webserver. Add header. Forward request.

samuel.bsky.team•12 days ago

it doesn’t even need to add the header, the browser does that part

u need to go FaaS like a coca cola freestyle

why.bsky.team•13 days ago

Honestly using cloudflare workers is probably the way to go

natalie.sh•13 days ago

how about bunny workers

natalie.sh•13 days ago

actually nvm i think cf is already in front of that specific subdomain (?) so cf would be better

natalie.sh•13 days ago

fast bnuuy

alice.mosphere.at•13 days ago

natalie.sh•13 days ago

alternatively rent rack space in like 160 pops and start your own edge compute service

This is starting to smell like the History API

piss.beauty•13 days ago

you could boot an entire container in the time it takes

piss.beauty•13 days ago

this wouldn't happen if it was called https://rust.bksy.app

alice.mosphere.at•13 days ago

https://deer.social fixes this

piss.beauty•13 days ago

honestly i use them like 50/50

jeanmachine.dev•13 days ago

its mostly incredibly bad for me on mobile using firefox, on desktop its usually less slow but on mobile its like a solid 1-2 seconds which is absurd lmao
