Ability to toggle link preview per channel #4805
Comments
The main issues arises when multiple thelounge users make requests to a link which might be a rate limited or just has a bad server and in doing so they "ddos" the website. |
If you have a server that can't handle a few irc users, you're gonna have a bad time on the internet. Considering that the default of TL is to not show previews, people explicitly turned it on, probably because they want to have it. Meaning your server will still get ddosed, by your measure, as those will keep it enabled. If you really care, you can filter us on the server, we identify as twitterbot so it's easy enough |
It's still a problem when someone sends a link to a server that happens to have this issue, and suddenly nobody can access it anymore. |
yes, sure |
Yeah, I totally agree that that should be the case and this is not because of my servers sadly. |
Feature Description
Would be nice to be able to turn off link preview on some channels, but still have it on others.
Could maybe be as an option bellow the mute channel.
