I listen to music very loudly in my headphones and sing/scream silently while walking my dog on the streets.
Every now and then I share the songs I listen to on my mastodon profile. When I do this, I take care to remove the identifying information that YouTube has started putting in all the URLs that we share from its video or music platforms.
![]()
To remove it is easy, just delete the part that has the code “&si=xxxx…”. This is the identifying and tracking information that YouTube forcibly places in all the URLs of the materials we share from its platforms.
I recommend that you also remove this information whenever you share something from there.
