1. Maybe you should add noopener nofollow to outbound links?

Despite the fact that Google and other search engines consider these attributes as recommended, my many years of experience show that with a large number of outgoing links (and there will be many with a large number of participants), the presence of nofollow positively affects possible filters from Google.

The visible sizes (+ indentation) of avatars on the central page of the site, for example, look not proportional to the rest of the content.

    As a general-purpose link aggregator, I don’t want it to be coercive about the types of links allowed, I’d rather communities just make rules about trackable links and remove posts that have them.

    I interpreted the post as talking about telling search engine crawlers not to follow outgoing links by adding noopener nofollow to the HTML <a> tags, not about tracker elements in the outgoing links themselves.

      Some search engines write about their recommendations like this: this is not a request, but a requirement. Failure to comply with the requirements-applying a filter. It’s only a matter of time. The same applies to the tag: meta description
