Link previews were a terrible idea
Link previews without https were a terrible idea
Yes
In this case the alternative would've been worse (clicking the link)
Imagine describing somefile that you were downloading, like lemmy.zip and having it linkified because that's technically a valid web address.
yourmom.zip
Error: Insufficient Hard Drive Space to download file.
