Phishing using Discord webhooks will be harder.

    It’s an annoying change for anyone using discord to share files outside of it’s closed platform but doesn’t affect most people.

    I wonder whether bridges for matrix have to be fixed or if they’re already editing messages bridged to matrix to the new url.

      Depends on how it’s implemented. Anyone using a “media proxy” will see their discord bridged media probably fail to load (outside of possible caches) after a day. Anyone who has their bridge configured to reupload discord media to their homeserver should see no change.

        What is this bridge you speak of? I’m intrigued. Does matrix have a functionality that lets you run a mirror of a discord channel?

          Yes exactly. The bridge logs into the discord server as a user. Then it mirrors all chats from your user in matrix to the discord.

          Oh matrix, every user on the connected server gets a user whose name is their snowflake. Those virtual users post into the matrix server whatever their respective discord users posts.
