I had the same problem with early http links. I don't know if this is helpful or correct, but I hacked this into app.ts to catch the error and leave the original URL for bad URLs.
![if (urls.length > 0) {
const newUrls: string[] = [];
for (let index = 0; index < urls.length; index++) {
var newUrl = ''
try {
newUrl = await resolveShorURL(urls[index]);
} catch (e: any) {
console.warn(`Dead link ${urls[index]}`);
newUrl = urls[index];
}
newUrls.push(newUrl);
}](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qg4kbleehhnew6c47kxkxjq2/bafkreihqtrbofmteqw2hietizpxvzff7vb22a7r5to2stgretzimlpt3ha@jpeg)

My son couldn't get to his appointment in the city so he's decided to stay in Drummoyne to take photos of emergency workers trying to get the crashed bus off the zipper. https://xcancel.com/crgentle/status/1671729294576603137/photo/1

The irony of relentless monarchist Tony Abbott opposing the Voice because it will divide out country based on ancestry when he's fought all his life to preserve the Monarch's constitutional right to cripple Australia's government at will.
