It’s a Discourse bug. Discourse gets all confused and thinks the OneBox preview window that Discourse itself creates is you trying to embed media into your post even though you aren’t. Then Discourse gets all huffy because we have embedded media disabled for regular users. So basically it’s Discourse being an idiot.

Details and workarounds here:
