| Feb 9, 2024 at 15:51 | comment | added | KyleMit StaffMod | My vote, especially in things like stack snippets, that linking to the working image will overwhelmingly be the intent of the author rather than an exact text match to the old link. And we're definitely not in a position to make case-by-case decisions in the migration. | |
| Dec 1, 2023 at 21:03 | comment | added | starball Mod | @KylePollard I initially thought it should be fine and probably desirable to replace whether it's a <img> src, <a> href, or in text/code. It didn't occur to me that it could be more complicated :P I'm gonna abstain from making a suggestion | |
| Dec 1, 2023 at 20:56 | comment | added | Kyle Pollard StaffMod | I haven't spec'd out the migration plan yet, so nothing to commit to on my end yet. I expect we'll do a bulk replacement of the domain regardless of if it's a link, embed, or post content. I do see a problem if this foundationally changes the problem in the post though - for example, if you had a hashing function that depended on the domain name as part of the post. I'm hoping those are an extreme minority though. What do you think? | |
