Host your own URL shortener with Yourls. It's great, loads of useful plugins too. (dot)ink domains are cheap so you can have fun with namel.ink like I did.
- Or just don’t shorten links? Shortening them just makes linkrot much more likely and also obfuscates where theyre going
  
  Yeah but that’s not a thing anymore so we should stop using them
