The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason WHY YSK:
In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true:
Disinformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
Rule 12- Linking directly to a video as a source is not acceptable.
Video only posts are responsible for an outsized portion of rules violations. Your post must contain text and meet the requirements of the previous rules.
Rule 13- If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

It's a bit sad, because archive.org is unable to capture some websites that archive.is is able to.
So you either get an imperfect host that is able to capture it (with a dubious integrity record), or you have a void where some stuff cannot be archived and you end up with a void.
In these cases I still consider archive.is (etc.) to be better than nothing. Also, the fact that archive.org is based in the USA is a concern. It could be forced to censor or delete content, or even be forcibly shut down.
indeed, there are many blacklisted/non-viewable urls in the wayback machine sadly. and it really doesn't work well with dynamic js-based paged
As opposed to all the other countries that can't censor and delete content or shut websites down?
It's a question of the political climate in the countries. The USA is a bit extreme at the moment.
Agreed. Being unable to get important info to people could be a bigger problem which is why I'd probably keep using them.
misinformation is not better than nothing if youre an idiot. dummies and noobs will take the info as fact
I've found https://megalodon.jp/ to work similarly. Japanese site, and has some quirks with how large of a page it will archive before only saving a screenshot, but it works.
.is uses some techniques to circumvent paywalls, whereas .org just accesses the site normally. I hope a competitor to .is will show up at some point.
I user Firefox with a handful of extensions including Bypass Paywalls Clean, NoScript, und uBllock Origin. I seem to breeze past a lot of paywalls. I base that on threads here where people are complaining about paywalls blocking them that I don't see.
Sometimes, when a site throws a Subscribe box up to block me from reading/scrolling on the sight, I can use the uBlock element zapper to delete it and read the article. The only ones that really get me are the ones that only load a paragraph or two unless you log in.
still, .is uses actual credentials to bypass hard paywalls for many news websites, which bpc-clean can't
I base that on threads here where people are complaining about paywalls blocking them that I don't see.
I have encountered this effect specifically with guardian.com. While i never had a paywall on that site, i often get the "paywall" comment when i post something on guardian.com.
They have a 30 articles a month limit even if you're logged in now, at least for me
This sentence does some heavy lifting:
The guidance says editors can remove Archive.today links when the original source is still online and has identical content;
The niche filled by archive.is is for bypassing paywalls, which is the only reason not to use the internet archive's wayback machine in the first place.
The only reason the operator of archive.is can get away with all his abuses is because most of the world can't or won't pay to have access to information required to be part of the global discussion.
Might these things be related? https://www.404media.co/fbi-tries-to-unmask-owner-of-infamous-archive-is-site/
Ironically, I had to bypass the paywall using archive.is
I would recommend that everyone search their own comment/post history and try to replace any archive[dot]is/ph/today links with something else.
Are they all ran by the same nutter?
it's just different domains for the same service to evade dns poisoning
They have been found to have been altering the contents of the archived articles.
In what way? (I’m not trying to start an argument or defend them; I’m just curious).
A bit easier to read,
Wikipedia editors discovered that the archive site altered snapshots of webpages to insert the name of the blogger who was targeted by the DDoS.
I suspected something was off when I literally could not load any archive.is website for the past year due to infinite recaptcha loops
That’s more just Google not liking you.
That’s definitely true, but I haven’t experienced it anywhere else 🤷 I can’t explain it, I was simply suspicious
