I’ve wanted this for a while but finally decided to post after seeing almost right next to each other:
- light ribbing at an admin with a parody version of their actual instance name
- (unrelated to 1) an admin post announcing defederation from an actually risky instance
In neither case does it seem helpful to make the domain name into an easily-accessed, clickable - and possibly accidentally-clickable - link.
Having a mode where the URL isn’t parsed until the http:// is added could help prevent accidental interactions and potential embarrassments for followers viewing from work.
