34 (mainly non–core Anglosphere newspapers) of the 121 platforms TWL can give you access to require an application. The rest you can access automatically, instantaneously right now as long as you meet the stats.
I mentioned that this (only) solves one (of two) major problems archive.today was used to solve: paywalls. This is also very workable; you already have major newspapers like Haaretz and WSJ available on TWL.
I also mentioned that the backcatalogue problem can be solved by running a different archiving service on the existing archive.today URLs we use.

I am an active editor lol. I’m saying that the proposal is to establish something similar to TWL for media URLs. It would serve the same purpose for editors. Obviously it would take a lot of work to develop this deal but it is workable.
You must first apply to gain access.
That’s not true. Anyone who meets the stats you mentioned may access TWL.
the WML does not host any of these publications
Indeed, that’s what makes it legally sound and prevents us from needing to relicense. We don’t need to license the content to copyleft for the thing to work.

The Wikimedia project gets to host verbatim third-party news articles? This is creative but completely unrealistic
It would be just like the extant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library.
In the worst case we could just run Megalodon on all the archive.today URLs

No, you do not need real time chat, you need searchable, permanent presence
why not both? Discourse is really nice but it’s a forum, not IRC or Matrix

I disagree, but we’ll see what they do with it

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500005292701-How-to-Access-an-Age-Restricted-Server-FAQ clarifies that Discord would only do that for servers that otherwise violate the Community Guidelines’s provisions on adult content, whose only mention of which I quoted above.
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 4 days ago:
Server owners must apply an age-restricted label to any channels that contain sexually explicit content involving adults or content involving adults that is shared solely for the purposes of sexual gratification.
nothing else needs to be age-restricted, and age restriction of topics you mentioned would be big news for discord. pluralkit’s home is discord and has great influence there, and the lgbtq+ community definitely has a larger presence than the plural community
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 4 days ago:
only changes for the unverified: * Channels, servers, and commands set to age-restricted will be inaccessible * DM requests deemed “sensitive” will be inaccessible * “Sensitive content” will be blurred * Won’t be able to become a speaker in “stage” channels, a special type where a few videoconferencers have a meeting where anyone else can watch and type but not videoconference; verified watchers can be invited to speak * DMs from unfamiliar users will be routed to a separate “warning” inbox
I think this is business as usual…
- Comment on You can ask any question to the people of year 3000, but can only receive information in the form of a single bit. What's your question? 5 days ago:
that’s more than one bit, though, which is part of the question’s constraints. In practice that means [No response] would be the same as indicating 0 or even 1 and they cannot convey additional information by controlling for time of receipt, likely because they can’t control time of receipt
- Comment on "Facebook" sounds like "非死不可" in Mandarin ... (which means something like: "no choice but to die") 2 weeks ago:
I agree that it’s hard to translate lol. Best I can do is “got to die”.

There was a program across many European countries where the wealthy could basically legally buy visas: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/17/realestate/europe-homes-sale-americans-lisbon-barcelona.html?unlocked_article_code=1.8k8.8kzm.JXddN45A1l0k&smid=url-share Was being phased out country by country due to jacking up housing prices, though
