Burnt after preview

[listiges-kaenguru]

Hi,

when sending links via Teams, WhatsApp, Signal,... the link is burnt before clicking it. I think it might be because of the loading preview.

Any idea for that?

I think it might be because of the loading preview.

Pretty much my suspicion as well. But there is hardly anything I could do. These services might send a query parameter with the request which I could use to prevent deleting the paste but it's a) playing whack-a-mole and b) technically the paste was read.

This seems to be working as designed and is very common when using burn after reading.

For example, sending someone a password push via teams will invalidate the link once it's crawled for preview.

The usual 'fix' is to wrap the URL with <> so that a preview will not be generated if the platform supports that. You can wrap in backticks otherwise to format as code, alternatively only allowing 2 reads of possible also works.
