    The goal here is to make it difficult to link to things uploaded to discord from outside of discord. The malware reason is BS. If they wanted to curb malware it would be as easy as making it a nitro feature. What that doesn’t fix is all the people piggybacking on discord as a free CDN.

    Discord isn’t even wrong for doing this. I just resent their dishonesty.

      Not sure rolling it into Nitro would be worth the effort, I’d consider that quite complex personally
