We’ve now introduced an allowlist of the most common websites that can be linked in private messages. As a result, it should no longer be possible to include links to phishing sites.

This is admittedly a rather drastic measure, as the allowlist certainly won’t cover every legitimate website. However, we believe it’s a better approach than trying to maintain a denylist, which can never keep up with newly created phishing domains.

Unicorn users are currently exempt from this restriction because their accounts are not anonymous.

If a URL is blocked that you think should be allowed, please let me know via PM or at info@modulargrid.net so I can add it to the allowlist.
