RE: Busy, busy, busy.org

I had never heard of regex foo - it sounds like a Wolf Alice song! But I get what you're saying. Have the links made with steemit.com regenerate to pointing to busy.org pages instead.

Yes, if it could be possible, this is a great idea!

Yup, that’s the thinking. It can actually be done in multiple ways, one would be on blockchain level and regex is another option.

I’m pretty sure a smart dev could also do it with some js, intercepting clicked and redirect them. That’s what many ‘related content’ advertising solutions do and computationally it would be a lot less heavy (and thus cheaper) than have regex rewrite each URL on the fly when served.

EDIT: Included my link to my Utopian rant suggestion about the problem.
