Comment on Substack won't let me in without verifying age, and VPN doesn't work; any ideas?

Try just using archive.is.
Substack is a platform that promotes Nazis anyway, so denying them the legitimate clicks is worthwhile.

When I first read your comment I figured it was some weird bug in the site. But the truth is so, so much weirder.
Wow, I read through the HN comments on that and it is just wild. Allegedly posted by the archive.today owner themselves, outing the fact that they were doing a DDOS. Allegations that archive.today is run by Kremlin operatives, or by the FBI, or that all of this has come out as the result of some sort of a dead man switch for…some reason. And talking about past drama with Cloudflare. And the alleged doxing that initiated all of this…even though it’s nearly 3 years old now. And is the doxer actually there in the HN comments, or is that a troll impersonating them?
Anyway, it doesn’t seem to be doing it anymore.
