Once I found I couldn’t iMessage a .xyz link I decided to stay away…

This would have me staying away from iMessage. What other content is Big Brother not transmitting for my "protection?"

This is actually why I moved off of Facebook Messenger. It started blocking random links I tried to send so I moved to something E2E encrypted.

Facebook Messenger is E2E encrypted now (though obviously that's not going to prevent the developer from blocking links unless the client is also open source).

Given that .zip is now a TLD, I completely support not automatically linkifying things that might be links.

(If you used "https" and made it a full URL, that's different.)

[larrik]

it didn't send, or it didn't linkify?

[ErikAugust]

Right, didn’t send.
