To me it pollutes the discussion away from the messages and puts a bunch of thumbnails where it could just be a clean text conversation.
The thing that bothers me is also that I, as a user, have no choice - it just does it automatically.
Do you like IRC?
- katbyte 6y agothis is one of those "people like different things" situations and a config option should be added to support both.
- JadeNB 6y agoSlack, and I suspect most other messaging apps, has such a config option.
- occamrazor 6y agoWhatsapp allows to delete the link box: enter the link, wait for the preview, backspace, and send. The hyperlink remains clickable too.
- shultays 6y agoSlack does it as well
- JadeNB 6y agoI suspect that most apps have a way to turn this off. Slack certainly does. That doesn't stop other users from seeing previews of your links, if it's set up that way for them, but it does prevent you from seeing previews of others' (and your own) links.
