Many websites use tracking elements in the URL (UTM parameters).
They are not necessary for a website to be displayed or work correctly and can therefore be removed.
Many crossposts from twitter contains those trackers!
I propose to clean URLs before crossposting them.
This can be easily implemented.
The firefox add-on ClearURLs already does that and keep a list of UTM parameters to remove :
