Its a little funny but sad that people keep wanting to commute on a bike but their government blocks them with stupid rules.

Why stand in the way of progress when you can be part of it?

      Yeah, it’s a Voyager (the app) thing. It’s the default now when sharing a link. I’m not sure why, it seems completely useless, more expensive for the devs, and a privacy problem for everyone else (redirect links are a form of tracking).

      Friendly reminder for everyone using Voyager to turn it off. I already did.

        You can edit your post to change the link if you wish [to remove a layer of redirection]. Or even edit to directly the final destination of straitstimes com…

          I did. Looks like vger.to is some sort of Voyager related redirecting thing. Totally unnecessary yup but its there for any Voyager link I try to copy.

            You shouldnt have to “copy” anything. Just use the crosspost feature which automatically creates a copy of the entire original post and posts it into the community of your choice. If your client doesnt support crossposting then its shit and you should use a different client.
