(Android) Copying embedded message content by long tapping is too easy to do by accident when scrolling

While scrolling through a chat that has a lot of embedded messages from bots and such, I frequently accidentally copy one or more of them to my clipboard, which can sometimes be annoying to deal with because I use my clipboard a lot. It'd be nice if it wasn't so easy to do by accident, or if it would open a prompt asking if I'd like to copy with a preview of what is being copied, rather than instantly putting it on my clipboard.

  Hey Hello! The reason for this situation may be due to some situations, if you want, let me list these situations:

  1. You may encounter this situation if you scroll too fast on the screen containing this long embed message.
  2. You may encounter this situation if there are too many link links in this long embed message.

  If you think this is a Discord bug, reach out to Discord immediately. Finally, stay healthy, stay safe. o7

  Alf, it has been a problem for 2 years. Here's a longer thread about the same issue: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360047992992-Android-Embed-Copy-Cooldown-for-the-fields

  New beta update to android has a new animation that seems to shed some light on what's happening. There's a circular shimmer/sparkle effect that occurs when long-pressing something on the new android version (rather than the expanding circle). I noticed that when swiping up on certain parts of bot posts, sometimes the "long-press" animation gets locked ... Open? ... When you swipe in a certain way. I was able to screen record it, but since I can't file-share here, if the devs allow it, I can try to post a link to it if I upload to YT or something...
