Oh? Do tell!
- nobody9999 9mo ago>> an analysis of existing links has shown that most of its uses can be replaced. >Oh? Do tell! They do. In the very next paragraph in fact: The guidance says editors can remove Archive.today links when the original source is still online and has identical content; replace the archive link so it points to a different archive site, like the Internet Archive, Ghostarchive, or Megalodon; or “change the original source to something that doesn’t need an archive (e.g., a source that was printed on paper)

- nobody9999 9mo agoI just quoted the very next paragraph after the sentence you quoted and asked for clarification. I did so. You're welcome. As for the rest, take it up with Jimmy Wiles, not me.

- Kim_Bruning 9mo ago> archive.today Hopeless. Caught tampering the archive. The whole situation is not great.
- snigsnog 8mo agoI'd rather deal with this weird feud than not have access to any archived content that people want censored. Defeats the entire purpose of an archive
- rockskon 8mo agoDid they? I thought the claim was code was added unrelated to the contents of the archived pages that effectuated a DDOS on someone's blog.
- that_lurker 9mo agoI would be suprised if archive.today had something that was not in the wayback machine
- ribosometronome 9mo agoAccounts to bypass paywalls? The audacity to do it?
- that_lurker 9mo agoOh yeah those where a thing. As a public organization they can't really do that. I personally just don't use websites that paywall important information.
- bombcar 9mo agoWayback machine removes archives upon request, so there’s definitely stuff they don’t make publicly available (they may still have it).
- super256 9mo agoYou don't even need to do requests if you are the owner of the URL. Robot.txt changes are applied in retrospect, which means you can disallow crawls to /abc, request a re-crawl, and all snapshots from the past which match this new rule will be removed.
- chrisjj 9mo agoArchive.today has just about everything the archived site doesn't want archived. Archive.org doesn't, because it lets sites delete archives.
- zahlman 9mo agoTrying to search the Wayback machine almost always gives me their made-up 498 error, and when I do get a result the interface for scrolling through dates is janky at best.

- eviks 8mo ago> the community should figure out how to efficiently remove links to archive.today You're part of the community! Prove him right!
- chrisjj 8mo ago:) But seriously, removal is simple but replacement is not.
