Does Sharkey require the community name to be mentioned in the post body?

So they want to sacrifice 'effectiveness' in later years then?

If they were to stop funding genocide in Palestine I'm sure they'd find extra room in their budget.

Agreed; Discord is trying to lull people into a false sense of security as a means of convincing them to stay, in the same manner that Reddit gave limited API access to apps like RedReader to stem the tide of users leaving for platforms like Lemmy.

Beyond age verification, if Discord is scanning a user's messaging history to determine what their age is, one can only imagine all the other data valuable to data brokers that they are extracting from it too.

There's websites with paywalls that even Bypass Paywalls Clean can't bypass. In cases that it can, it sometimes just fetches the article contents from archive.today.

That doesn't mean an alternative shouldn't be found, but we also shouldn't pretend that nothing is being lost by losing access to unpaywalled sources. For practical purposes, a paywalled source means no source for most readers, unless a non-paywalled alternative can be found to replace it.

They have historically been against the Common Fisheries Policy.

While archive.org is good and more trustworthy than archive.is, it isn't as useful for bypassing paywalls.
