Endgame is to not have links to any external websites (legacy internet) in notes. Clients should drop this feature (making these links clickable or loading previews) at some point.

Why?

Legacy websites are filled with bullshit like captchas, ip blocking, ads and popups. Most of the time there is no reason to link to websites. Nostr already supports long form content and markup.

When sharing something from external legacy websites, features such as copy-paste and screenshot exists.

For transitory deprecation phase: Instead of fetching previews from websites meta tags, i suggest fetching full content and displaying it as markup.
