FoolishOwlfoolishowl@social.coopOct 23, 2026, 9:22 PM@bridget Early in the history of the Web, I picked up a book on Web design, which explained how it was a serious flaw in HTML that people can just leave your website, so you shouldn't use any external links and should construct "entrance tunnels" and "exit tunnels" to constrain how people used your site.
