Disable embedding/crawling on URLs #28

Closed burritosoftware closed 6 months ago

burritosoftware commented 1 year ago

This would be a configurable option that encases all URLs being received in Discord with <> characters to prevent embedding/crawling of the URL by Discord's bot, for privacy.

This is a great idea! Will definitely add this đź‘Ť Thank you!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that the generated URL previews are done via a Discord server and then served to the Discord client. So, receiving a link/embed message doesn’t compromise the user.

But that could change. Adding the brackets offers an additional layer of security, I'm all for it.

The new setting is config.discord.disableUrlEmbeds and it defaults to true.

Enjoy, and thank you again for the idea @burritosoftware and the feedback @CovertDuck!
