@marado@twtxt.net We really need to stop using link shorteners and QR codes, but the damage is already done.

You can put a sticker with a QR code (and no other information) on a wall in a city and people will scan it out of curiosity. They scan it, their iPhone only tells them it goes to snapchat.com (I just checked on the latest version of iOS), and they end up on my website instead because it’s an open redirect.

Granted, my website is a much better place to be than snapchat.com, but you get the idea.

that’s a great idea. I should build some open redirect websites and QR codes and place them around our cities to get people to be redirected to Yarn.social 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net You could just point people directly to yarn.social. That could be a very effective guerrilla marketing campaign.

This happened during an event in Guadalajara, México a few years ago.

I randomly recalled when you said QR Guerilla Marketing

Polemic usage of QR codes
