Does anyone here know how to post links to Xiaohongshu without the InsidiousTrackers bot deleting your post? (hexbear.net)

I don’t know if there’s something I’m missing but it’s not clear to me where the tracking link is with those links, or if there’s even a tracking link at all.

I posted a link like this earlier that didn't get removed although I still got a notification that it would

Click at your own risk I have no clue if this link tracks

It tracks. It's just all being done server side. We basically need an anonymizer version of hexreplybot, if that's even possible with rednote's framework.

I've removed the InsidiousTrackers report, because to be honest I'm not sure if these links have any tracking in the typical sense. It's quite annoying though, so maybe an admin could look into this if there's a way to make the bot ignore Xiaohongshu links. For now I'll just ignore these reports when they pop up. Good thing the bot isn't a moderator.

I would be shocked if Xiaohongshu doesn't use URL arguments for tracking with how permission thirsty that app is and how quickly the algorithm hones.
