in reply to @masklayer's post:

yeah, I should probably rewrite the text in the display settings page a little bit to make clear that iframely's settings only govern previews that it itself is embedding from third-party domains (big publishers like youtube, instagram, tiktok, etc.) in order to prevent you from getting roped into facebook/google/tiktok tracking by just looking at cohost, and that seeing embeds at all is governed by the checkbox.

and the link previews grab the content from the server side meaning the user's browser is not connected to any other website unless the user clicks the link.

previews are good. embeds are bad. lol
