I use an app called URLcheck that I've installed via F-Droid. Although it doesn't appear to give me the ability to skip the bluesky redirect action but at least I know it's there I guess.

The best part is that if you inspect elements, it still shows as the original link. They only generate the go link after you clicked.

That's how Google always worked, btw. But there is one obvious benefit to showing the original URL before you click it, you can hover it to see where the link actually leads before they hijack the click.
