I see links to 'that site' owned by 'that billionaire' all the time, be it in posts or comments...

Is it possible to auto-suggest using xcancel.com instead, if direct links are in posts or comments, or even auto-fix them?

Thanks, will check it out. I agree it should be the client/user's choice. I guess I would just like awareness of xcancel to get out there so people know about it as a way to avoid giving that site any more traffic.

Libredirect is another one that handles a bunch of similar redirections, although it's a bit buggy.
