It's one more piece of metadata.
If nobody you communicate with cares about being connected to you or vice versa then it's not a big deal. On mobile there are URL cleaners, several on F Droid, which use share providers to receive the original URL and then share it again to your destination app. Also browser add-ons like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clearurls/ to strip them from hyperlinks in browsers (but be wary of heavy JS sites, it may not be bulletproof)
Also checkout this app for android
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.trianguloy.urlchecker/
Acts as a default browser so you can edit links and open them in a browser of choice, its great and lightweight
