Tbh I am even surprised those links were a thing to begin with, at the end it is mainly to share stuff on their chat platform, they sort of allowed that, but feels weird that it was a thing to begin with.

Browsers should wrap that link with a "unwrapped link" that links to the source plattform, which usually is not discord.

Err, I don't think that'd be possible?

The browser would be aware of certain types of links, follow them one level, then present the target link as the actual target.

Not a default behavior, but would be a nice option to have to preserve nettiquite.

I'm fairly certain the CDN and browser would be unaware of the source of the image/file being hosted on the CDN. There would be no links to follow.

What? Discord isn’t meant to be a media hot linking service. They’re literally doing it on purpose, to stop people from doing what this person is doing.

Christ.

This isn't stopping people from sharing discord media links though. It just means that others who did not share the link and cannot do anything about that will see broken images/etc. in the future.
