Oh no, someone might not be paying them for their user generated content (!)
To be fair, it’s probably best that history forgets this period of the web…
Reddit will block the Internet Archive

I am new to Lemmy, is there a fuckreddit sub?
morto@piefed.social 8 months ago
In a way, the entire lemmy community is the fuckreddit sub

Auth@lemmy.world 8 months ago
This is a great site to search for communities. Doesnt seem like there is one.
frongt@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
Why would you want to spend more time thinking about a dead site?
FalseTautology@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
I just like to laugh at things I dislike. And I also like to see how bad it’s getting. Iwas in the undelete sub and it was amazing.

If you seek a pleasant public forum, look about you.

Cuck boy getting pegged by post top op Garfield is definitely not something I had jotted down in my day-at-a-glance.

I would have at least expected him to ask Spez to put some lasagna on his bumhole as lube.

lol i think that might be the worst/best thing I have seen in a long time
rhythmisaprancer@piefed.social 8 months ago
Unrelated but is your username a play on benzene?
tal@lemmy.today 8 months ago
Given that the Internet Archive is the de facto standard way to cite material as seen on a given date — they’re a trustworthy party that will probably persist for a long time — that’s going to make it harder to cite content on Reddit.
Deceptichum@quokk.au 8 months ago
Damn, guess if you want reddit data to train your AI that you’ll need to pay Spez for access.
misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
Don’t forget, Reddit is legally allowed to train on your content, but not the other way around. It’s consistent with US law, where corporate tax is half of income tax.
tal@lemmy.today 8 months ago
It’s important for people writing papers and such who need to cite material.
I wonder if there’s some way to use the TLS certificate to bootstrap a cryptographically-signed copy of a webpage with timestamp that someone could later validate as having been downloaded on that date. I don’t know if existing TLS libraries are capable of that. Like, Web browser menu option “Store cryptographically-signed webpage”. Absent a later certificate compromise, I’d think that that’d at least provide people a way to credibly say “this is really what was on that webpage on August 15th, 2026”.

As long as the previous collections of archives are still intact. We probably don’t need all of their new spam posts in the wayback machine anyway
Sxan@piefed.zip 8 months ago
LOL I should have scrolled down first You said what I said, with fewer words, first.
hamFoilHat@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It is my understanding that if you block the wayback machine from indexing your site it will also delist the history as well.
Natanael@infosec.pub 8 months ago
The ability to block crawling is separate from the ability to delist old pages. The latter usually happens after domains change owners
Jason2357@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
They do archive sites against the owners wishes when they consider it an important site for public archiving, like some news sites. They are in no obligation to delete the archives and hope they don’t.
MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
Damn you Spez.

Just more vindication for my ditching that trash heap of a platform.

Time to use peertube
DFX4509B_2@lemmy.org 8 months ago
And Invidious while that’s still an option, but I have both a PeerTube and Odysee set up already.
Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
YouTube’s already throttling users in their mobile site. They have these massive channel cards in their feeds and the video titles/thumbnails disappear after a few offerings, leaving you with the ability to blindly click on a video.
DFX4509B_2@lemmy.org 8 months ago
I’ve declared my YT channel to be dormant starting on the 13th due to this AI age-gating crap.
