10. How odd, then, that you've apparently never mentioned it before on DU, or made any attempt to get

rid of malware that would be the ONLY way a Bluesky link would take you elsewhere. I just searched for any threads or replies you posted in all forums here, back through January 3rd, and you never mentioned any problem with Bluesky links till now, and you have responded to other OPs that included Bluesky links.

I suggest you post about this problem in Community Help and bring it to EarlG's attention, if this is really happening (not only have you never mentioned it before, but a quick googling didn't turn up anyone else anywhere complaining about a similar problem with Bluesky links). Be sure to provide EarlG with the link to that Hooters discussion you claim Bluesky links take you to, but point out it might be malware - and break that link with a space so it won't appear on DU as a link that can be accidentally clicked on.

Otherwise, it unfortunately looks like you're trying to disrupt this thread and waste people's time getting them to copy from Bluesky when Bluesky links are safe to click on. And it's really not nice of you to try to scare people away from clicking on Bluesky links. So if those links really are redirecting you, post in Community Help. And again, be sure to include the mysterious link you say you're taken to "every time" you click on a Bluesky link. I'd like to see which site that is, too. But EarlG knows more about computers and I'm sure he'd want to know if Bluesky links on DU redirect to other sites.
