Why don't we automatically hyperlink full dread URLs in post/comment text? : Dread | Torhoo darknet markets

If someone posts full dread links in a post/comment body, why don't we automatically hyperlink them just like how we currently match and hyperlink /post/{id}, /u/{id} etc?

It's much more natural to copy a full dread URL from the URL bar than carefully selecting half of it and then pasting it where we want it to be hyperlinked. I believe it would be a fairly simple implementation. Post/comment paths seem pretty regex-able to me. A potential caveat might be matching with all mirrors making it slightly less efficient but I think it hardly matters.

no, i think if someone posts their private mirror, it could be a problem

I don't have experience with Tor but no javascript means html is pre-rendered in the backend(including hyperlink generation). The backend already knows which mirror the request came from and it can respond accordingly.

The answer is really simple: To prevent phishing.

Dread turns it into the correct URL.

So just copy everything after .onion then past here. Simples.

I don't think you understand my query. What you just did with the example is what I suggested but in an automated way. How could it cause phishing if only dread links are hyperlinked?
