@drahardja the reason to show URLs is not so people can examine them for scams.

the reason to show URLs is so people can know what a URL is, what it means to be at a location on the web, can see and maybe begin to think about a host and a path and a protocol, and different ways paths that are not intentional dark patterns get constructed. 1/

@drahardja most people should not be web “consumers”. the web is not a product. it is a public space. as much as possible we want citizens there who actively participate, not passive recipients of other peoples’ products.

or perhaps it’s on this we disagree. /fin
