That’s kind of the point
There was a time when links were allowed in top threads. The result was INLEO becoming a discord post promotion channel
Now, you have to create a top thread for context and then reply to it with the link. Much better this way
I would disagree. It means extra clicks to get to the info. It may not even be obvious that there is a link. Embedding previews would be ideal. You can still have discussions on here. I'd never link to Discord anyway.
It's a temporary measure until we figure out how to avoid the spamfest that some hive users like to do everywhere where they can drop links and disappear lol
yeah would be good to find a solution but understandably why it has to be this way for now and should be good enough for good link sharers
Yeah exactly, a halfway point.
We're cracking our head at this. Premium users can share links anywhere, maybe we can also add a rep parameter, but not hive's rep cos flawed but some other kind of rep, cc @steevc
Have to find some compromise. I consider microblogging to be largely about sharing links to cool stuff. It's not actually stopping me doing that for now. I could go for Premium, but I don't generally need it.
