It’s an annoying change for anyone using discord to share files outside of it’s closed platform but doesn’t affect most people.
I wonder whether bridges for matrix have to be fixed or if they’re already editing messages bridged to matrix to the new url.
Depends on how it’s implemented. Anyone using a “media proxy” will see their discord bridged media probably fail to load (outside of possible caches) after a day. Anyone who has their bridge configured to reupload discord media to their homeserver should see no change.
