A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Personally use this tool on a daily basis. YMMV wrt the frontends provided, but I use it as my daily driver to help me evade Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube's tracking of everything I do.

I see your client-side redirect and I raise you a server-side redirect:
https://farside.link/ (source code)
It does many frontends:
https://farside.link/invidious/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ - Rickroll on Youtube
https://farside.link/teddit/r/lemmy - /r/lemmy through teddit
https://farside.link/nitter/ishl3outyet - IsHL3OutYet Twitter account through Nitter
and many more

it has a list of instances for each of those frontends and picks one when you open a link
this helps with combating link rot, as links will stay alive even if some frontend instances go down
