Ach Mist, das war's dann wohl mit meinen Statistiken zu #Mastodon als Trafficquelle für @heiseonline:
Hab gerade bemerkt, dass die schönen neuen Vorschaukarten den URL-Parameter abschneiden, über den wir überhaupt erfahren, dass Besuche von hier kommen. Je mehr Instanzen diese neue Vorschau nun anzeigen, desto mehr Einstiege werden darüber kommen und für uns nicht mehr erkennbar.
Weiß nicht, ob wir das überhaupt beheben können/wollen.
And also in English: The nice new preview cards (no irony, I really like them) seem to cut off URL-Parameter. That means that we see less and less traffic coming from #Mastodon on @heiseonline. Because more and more #instances get the update, and more people click on the preview and not the URL.
That means that my little summaries are getting quite worthless: I don't know if we could/or would want to add the URL-Parameter to the previews.
@mho @heiseonline @Gargron Do you have an example to reproduce this?
Ideally, could you open a Github issue, with the example, so we can track the (potential) issue? https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/new/choose

Here is the example from the screenshot:

And sorry, I don't have an Github-Account..
It is possible, that this behavior is not even new: Before the nice new preview-cards we would always post a preview-picture, suppressing a potential preview. Because I liked the preview, I asked my colleague to stop that and just post the link and let #Mastodon handle the rest.
@mho @heiseonline @renchap Apologies. The link card respects the canonical tag on the page, but this has been a point of friction for scenarios such as this for a while.
@Gargron @renchap
Thanks for your replies, I assumed that this behavior was intentional because of the privacy-focus of #Mastodon. If this isn't the case, and it maybe could even be solved, it would be really great. It seems like this isn't only generating problems for me (which aren't that important, to be honest).

Thank you for posting the English. (My German is neither good enough to completely comprehend the original, nor to reply in kind.)
Personally, I'm glad the trackers don't survive. The modern web has bred an entitled expectation on the part of web site runners to be able to track and trace people's activity. If Mastodon is breaking that, perhaps it is leading the way back to individual privacy, and I can't say I'm disappointed.
