Why should the onus fall on OP to accommodate everyone’s tin-foil hat? It is literally not hard to put https://archive.ph/ in front of any URL to get it yourself. There are also browser plugins if that’s too much work. See also: 12ft.io
Your home instance runs Tesseract (https://tes.leminal.space) which includes multiple archive link options on every relevant post. They’re, like, right there. I know that because I wrote the thing and included that feature because I’m sick of people whining “paywalled”.
So instead of whining “Paywalled!” and expecting everyone to accommodate you, maybe try putting in the slightest bit of effort first.
I see you added two paragraphs so let me respond to those separately.
You’re making a lot of assumptions about my environment. I’m using an Android app, and I see no archive link options anywhere. Nor do I even browse my “home” instance, it was just an arbitrary choice to make an account there.
12ft.io doesn’t even work on most websites for me. I’ve tried, but it would always break the page or just give me an error.
Lastly, only OP can put an archive link in the body. So even if I archived something and shared the link, it’s still less accessible than OP including a link in the body.
common now. ptz knows as does everyone that knowledge on how to bypass paywalls is known to everyone regardless of how new or how much experience they have online and anyone asking for help is just whining and should get gud /s

What do conspiracies have to do with this? It’s about making news accessible
