BUG: Link encoding anticipation can lead to looping if used with another shortener #19

This one is a head-scratcher, but in production I noticed someone expected their next link to be vite.lol/7 so they went on another URL shortener, and shortened that link.

They then took that link and came on vite.lol and encoded it, which resulted in vite.lol/7 pointing to another shortener that points... back to vite.lol/7
