Wow look, new markdown syntax juste dropped decades ago

"I just learned something, so it must be completely new!"

a few details:

  • you can't include the https://prefix on links likd this, they'll refuse to mask. you also can't have pure whitespace mask a link. they did a surprisingly good job at filtering character lookalikes
  • you get a big ass warning when clicking it that clearly shows where you're going

  • bots were able to do this for a while now

This is just basic markdown

Obviously, but still better to have full link, especially if discord is full of crypto scams

Cool, create problem, provide solution for a problem you've created.. smart

Youre trying to use logic on a crypto kiddie...

It's not very effective

You can manually disable it in the options, this guide shows you how
