Move clickable_chat_weblinks option to advanced settings

[Zughy]

The option is now true by default and there doesn't seem to be a reason why it should be an option in the first place. IRC discussion: https://irc.minetest.net/minetest-dev/2025-01-06#i_6233759

Bonus: is chat_weblink_color really needed?

I like this feature it is very useful, why is luanti starting to remove useful things now?

[SwissalpS]

I don't want my kids to be clicking random links some strangers provide.

Can you explain how so? (I assume it won't be the same reason as Swissalp's.)

Because what you consider useful may be regarded as harmful by others. The disadvantages of such a setting are clobbered settings and users who might (possibly accidentally) disable features and forget to re-enable them.

@SwissalpS you also probably don't want your kids to play online where strangers can swear a lot (also against your kids), talk about adult stuff and tell them to "search this thing on the Internet" to circumvent the fact they can't click a link

[SwissalpS]

There is a big diff between text only and multimedia. A weblink can direct you to horrendous images where as text in chat is mostly not even understood.
Sure, at some point the kids are savy enough to search the web etc. and also toggle the setting, but that is beside the point.

"have you ever heard about [porn site name]? Check that out!", "have you seen goatse? I think that's really cool!", " lol there's this video called two girls one cup I really like, it's fun", "real ahegaos are hilarious" and the like. I could go on for a lot. If the link is short enough, I can just manually type it.

In general, I'd suggest every parent to avoid bringing kids in online servers, or at least stay with them the whole time, as there's always a "chaos" factor that staff can't really control (mostly the chat). Exactly as they'd avoid giving them TikTok and the like. Public internet is not made for kids

The feature itself is not being removed, just the setting to disable it (and it is enabled by default)

why not just move it to advanced settings? I could see an educational usecase for enabling it in a custom client where a whole class should have the same client and shouldn't be able to use chat to send links

Indeed, risk of people accidentally toggling it would be reduced, and another advantage of that would be that kiddos would have a harder time disabling it.

Best solution to this problem, this should do it.
