Discord’s Cinderella Move: Turning Malware Pumpkins to Midnight URLs!

Dancing to the tune of anti-malware measures, Discord is introducing temporary file links. These Cinderella-like links, apt for sharing content outside the platform, will turn back into plain old pumpkins (URLs) after 24 hours. This move is Discord’s way of saying, ‘You can’t use me as your makeshift file hosting service anymore!’

Hot Take:

Discord, the popular chat platform, is taking a swing at malware by turning links into pumpkins after 24 hours. This Cinderella-style approach is meant to curb the use of Discord as a makeshift file hosting service and reduce the platform's malware problem. Users looking to share content outside of Discord will have to find a new carriage or face their links turning back into common URLs at the stroke of midnight!

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
