I really hope this domain hijacking doesn't succeed, because I use archive.is all the time.

  Not to worry. They have other domains too, as stated in the Twitter thread: .TODAY .FO .LI .VN .MD .PH

    I'm not sure the existence of alternatives, advertised through Twitter, is much of a comfort here. The integrity of the domain name system shouldn't depend on someone having a well-known twitter account that can advertise alternatives in the event of a hostile takeover.

      I agree, but that’s not what the GP and GGP we’re discussing.

      The integrity of DNS shouldn’t depend on someone having a well-known twitter account but unfortunately DNS is a poorly designed system and this kind of thing happens all the time. Just a few months ago Zoho’s registrar blocked their domain because of just two customer complaints, even though Zoho has tens of millions of paying customers. https://twitter.com/zoho/status/1044249648993525760?s=21 https://twitter.com/zoho/status/1044249648993525760?s=21 Disclaimer: building https://namebase.io https://namebase.io which is a registrar for seizure-resistant names on the Handshake blockchain.

    Yes, but a lot of links posted around the web (e.g. reddit) are for the .is TLD. Most people won't know to change the url and could even be directed to malware.
