Apparently this is now an option provided by Eugens mastodon software: enabling http_referrer on outlinks.

Just as an FYI, this setting will only enable the data surveillance corporates to build yet more granular detail on who you are and what your preferences and beliefs are.

If you're an admin on a server that hosts other people, I think it behoves you to make inquiry of those users before enabling such a privacy violating option.

@dgold http "referer" is a classic header though, I think it makes sense to default to on... this *is* the web after all. It doesn't pass the username it seems but only the instance, which seems sensible for most instances which aren't single user.
