Links are both useful ɛn di main source of spam in chats. In dis update wi made link moderation truly flexible: yu decide who can send which links.
Conditions for sending links
Instead of a blunt "ban everyone", there are naw conditions. To send a link, a member can first: join di group, subscribe to yu channel or invite friends. Dis not only protects against random advertisers but turns di right to post a link into a growth tool — pipul subscribe ɛn bring in new members.
Member ɛn link filters
Now yu can filter by a member's attributes — for example, allow links only from those who have a @username or photo (spam bots usually don't). And di links themselves are filtered by category, so yu separate di useful from di unwanted without banning everything.
Black ɛn white lists
Full control: add domains ɛn members to a blacklist to block, or to a whitelist to always allow. And deletion notifications can be set up however suits yu: quietly clean di chat or warn di offender.
Takeaway
Link moderation is no longer a choice between "chaos" ɛn "everything banned". Flexible conditions, filters ɛn lists give yu a clean chat without losing convenience for normal pipul. Details are in di changelog.
