    Lemmy is a link-aggregation site, but tiny potatoes compared to bigger link-aggregators like Reddit and Twitter, and this page of bad-cop news is barely a tater tot even on Lemmy. Nobody’s sent a cease-and-desist letter to Reddit, let alone Lemmy, and I’ve been doing this for decades and never been blocked by the archival sites.

    Your worries are about hypotheticals that haven’t even been threatened. I’m goiing to worry about bad cops instead.

      ??? Wow, hostile. You’re the one who brought up fear of copyright violation when I suggested including the content in the post itself, so IDK why suddenly you’re saying “Nobody’s sent a cease-and-desist letter to Reddit, let alone Lemmy”.

      IDGAF about Lemmy, relatively speaking.

      You’re abusing the Internet Archive, which is already under siege from publishers, and gets more important with every website that goes down or bad cop that tries to erase the past, is all.

        I like your suggestion of seeking similar coverage from a different source, instead of the archive sites. That would be preferable, but would take serious time. Consider yourself invited to pitch in!
