insane. the Internet Archive is the single most important resource for journalists. it stops people from deleting things you may be investigating, and doesn't let anyone alter content after the fact to blame their faults on others (hello Elliptic).

X is already blocking the Internet Archive. Now Reddit is following suit. Internet is over my guys.

On one hand, yes.

On the other hand, X and Reddit (and all other centralized social media) are the modern equivalent of the AOL tards.

I do have a little bit of a hard time giving a damn what goes on in those silly places.

For the Internet that exists somewhat more secluded from these bastions of eternal september, the Internet Archive lives.

What have things come to? SMH 🤦‍♂️

Keep writing ✍️ the good fight 🗡️

We should build the Internet archive forum/message board:)

I didn't realise the internet archive had forums

https://archive.org/iathreads/forums.php

Neither did I!

And the Grateful Dead subforum seems to be the most used. Struggling a bit to load it tho lol

They truckin'

I'm not sure if this is a sarcastic post or not. X and Reddit blocking the Internet Archive doesn't mean it can't be accessed. It's a very concerning trend.

Can the internet archive be used as a decentralized storage, where people around the world dedicate some disk space?

Right? I wonder if URL shortener services will help bypass the blocks

Internet archive is anyways not reliable. There are better alternatives.

There's also archive.is, which saves screenshots of entire articles (and you can submit new ones as they are published). People use this one to see changes to articles, as well as to read behind paywalls. NewsDiff also keeps track of news article changes.

This is a cat and mouse game and it's not even close to have a definitive winner.
