Cute. More fun ways to get redirected to harmful links. /s

Appreciate the efforts, though I get real skeptic with link shorteners due to their inherent risky nature.

Are you doing anything to avoid those kind of links in the backend?

Currently no, since this was just meant to be a toy project. But I agree with you that I have to deal with moderation if I intend to keep this up. The only countermeasure is to peek into the URL without having to be redirected cause each shortened URL has a stats page. e.g https://emojied.net/stats/%F0%9F%8D%8A%F0%9F%8C%90
