I don’t, and I can’t find that setting in the UI, is there a special place to look for it?

Looking on this [thread](https://meta.discourse.org/t/2-9-0-beta5-security-fixes-block-hotlinked-media-pm-tagging-search-improvements-and-more/229845) I see there’s a `block_hotlinked_media` feature but I don’t really have that set.
