There's been a ton of this bot activity - always the same format. I deport them all but it seems like it would be easy enough to filter them on the back end. Shouldn't allow obfuscated links in any event. Near as I can tell they are tracking links to build a database of thedonald user info.
if you look at the link that class of bot uses, it's a hacked discus redirect to a tiny link redirect to a tracking redirect - its three levels of intentional obfuscation and it's intent is not to archive but to collect data on the user. This is someone running a bot to intentionally gather info on thedonald.win users.
Links like "archive.is" are not really obfuscated, everyone knows what those sites look like.
This new account u/paulkjh887 has posted nothing but spam links to a Trump coin. I've reported. DEPORT!!

Obfuscated links are what archive.is links are. I can't get them working on my phone but they work fine on my desktop.
Also, script blockers help stop that shit from accidentally poking me.

Gotcha.
But phone users can't hover over links. Best not to click any links unless you're on a desktop with a script blocker..
Here's another one. Deport en masse!
I have deported about 20 different usernames in the last 24-hours. All posting the exact same link.
