It's not for bsky to log clicks...????? They can already do that without doing this bounce link because you're using their app??????? Like folks are we really doing this?
It's for external websites to know that the click came from bsky. (E.g. if you click the link from the bsky app, without this trick it would like you just typed the URL in, since apps don't provide a referral header)
You've missed out on the last several decades of Republican rhetoric, tears of "their enemies" is exactly what they want. They know they're the bad guys and revel in it.

I don't understand why you think "avoiding prison" equals free work for companies. The individuals contributing to open source are subject to the same laws we're discussing in this thread, and are the ones that would actually be getting consequences.
No one exists without a government, and that's not even a pipe dream, it'd be societal collapse.

If your goal in contributing to FOSS is to go to prison, there are a lot better avenues to achieve that.
