You have been bamboozled.

Why make this?

Discord is planning on releasing a new feature to allow users to mask links in markdown that everyone by default can do. I made this site to show why it's a bad idea to not have that power behind a permission that moderators can disable to the wider public.

Is it that bad of a feature?

I think it's a great feature for moderators to make nicer announcements and think it should stay. It should just be more restrictive in the users who can use them in public servers

How do I prevent this being abused in my server?

Well, we can use some AutoMod regex to prevent links from being masked and still allow regular links. I won't be sharing any regex because it's a pain to get it right.
