        1. ➊ Links rot (n.b. @johnjhorton on this, recently) ➋ “Shortened” links can help with this… ➌ …as long as you can change the destination ex post (think about having a link that first forwards to a WP, but later to the published version) 💜 @short_io 1/2 @lukestein/1573043312759828480

        ➍ I regret having posted a bunch of old bit․ly links, since they now charge $ to update link destinations ➎ Ideally use a domain you OWN and a service with good data portability (like @short_io) in case want to switch later 2/2 @lukestein/1102341632161046529?s=20&t=4o89tIuSTO4ehJK6x6XObA

      ➏ Thanks to @Alexpettitt for advice and help on all this ➐ For advanced users, one of @short_io’s killer features is the ability to set a pattern-based redirect for nonexistent redirects. This means stuff like this link just work by default: lukeste.in/steincoresummary.pdf 3/2
      oh my god twitter doesn’t include alt text from images in their API

    @Alexpettitt @short_io And an unfortunate update… after relying on @short_io to avoid link rot (and suggested the service to others 👆) I just discovered that all my short links have been broken and my account banned with no notice and for no discernible (to me) reason🤦 4/2
