What happened?

I was reading an essay by John MacFarlane about Markdown and the difficulties that CommonMark project had to go through when implementing certain features when I found out about reference links.

Obviously, I tried using the same syntax on Revolt for Web to see if they worked, which they do (Screenshot attached below).

But sending a message that only contains a reference link that points to nothing, the client completely hangs and the user becomes unable to do the following actions:

  • Reload the client
  • Switch channels (Except voice channels)
  • Switch servers
  • Receive messages
