Description
Currently any link to matrix.to on Discord gives a useless 'You're invited to talk on Matrix' link preview, which looks like spam. We should figure out how to suppress link previews, as the old matrix.to did

Research direction
Start by examining the matrix.to URL-handling entry points and any existing preview-related behavior, then compare how the old matrix.to handled these links. The work is done when Discord no longer displays the useless invitation preview for matrix.to links without changing their intended redirect behavior.
