Much shorter!

If you want to see what it output, try https://babelstone.co.uk/Unicode/whatisit.html, the above link is:

Also, some apps handle this better than others. Element Desktop renders the link as:

mbin does not handle it with the most grace either.

Cisco says this is a phishing site.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago

It can be used for phising.

[–] m_f@midwest.social 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Does it say that about all URL shorteners? It probably doesn't like any of them

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Should do, all url obfuscation is a phishing vector.

[–] Mojave@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I mean email itself is a phishing vector but it's still alright to use email and URL shorteners if you're not dumb

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Don't mind me, and do not click this link. I'm just testing it out.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago
