it boggles my mind that a company that is constantly under fire for scams and phishing and a host of other security issues would just casually drop masked links and make the problem worse. someone already abused this on the TCRF server to hide a link to some bitcoin bullshit and i am fucking seething.
Discord is, first and foremost, a chat program. it does not need full markdown support. i don't care if it pops up a confirmation dialog asking if you really want to go to the linked website; that is not enough, that has never been enough. they need to nuke this feature from orbit and maybe seriously consider going out of business because they have proven time and time again that they are absolutely not fit to run this service.
