This has absolutely nothing to do with enshittification. Bluesky doesn't need that redirect to know what you're clicking on. You're already on their platform, they can already track every single click that you do while on Bluesky including navigating to outbound links. I'm a bit shocked that nobody here is calling that out to be honest

I don't think that is true, iirc you can't track simple clicks on HTML a elements.

Apart from using JavaScript, there’s also a way to track links in HTML
