Turns out that you can!

Expand Tiktok URLs

if ($.matches(url, '(www\\.)?tiktok\\.com')) {
    return $.followRedirect(url);
}

Remove tracking params

if ($.matches(url, '(www\\.)?tiktok\\.com')) {
    return $.setEncodedQuery(url, null);
}

This could be really good if it could expand shortened links. Tiktok links have a creepy amount of tracking that can be easily bypassed by expanding the link and removing the tracking params.

Half of the people talking removed are also Linux devs.

There is no algorithm. Clicks don’t do removed on mastodon.
