When you reply or quote a post you will see the odd formatting, but the resulting reply will also have invisible content from Amazon.

See my posts that I pasted the quotes in a code block for visibility.

Probably because they are the biggest Anti-2A people on the web.

Please buy less from Amazon. You're setting us up for a dystopian, autocratic corporate monopoly. Give the remaining competition a chance.

Amazon needs to be broken up and we all know the government is too busy being worried about how to scare people than it's prime directive.

I use Brave browser on PC and Android. With privacy shields up it does appear the links are being hidden.
This may be a function of how Brave and other browsers manage external content that might be trying to use trackers.

Here's a screenshot of a message I sent another member, taken after I sent the message and noticed that it comes up blank on my end.

It does appear that the link got mislabeled or mishandled as media instead of simply remaining a simple URL link.

One way to get around the glitch appears to be to use the insert link function in the toolbar, typing words or phrases and then inserting the URL.
