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

Not just an instance, but the branch friendica

@kevinrns

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?

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.

@kevinrns

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?
