disallowing archived versions of paywalled articles

Really? I can’t stand paywalled articles especially on sites where sharing the article (here, on Lemmy) is the main point of it all.

I always link to an archive.ph or archive.org version because not only does it help bypass all that crap but it also preserves it for future generations.

This platform is for all of us, not just those who can afford WaPo or The New York Times subscriptions.

Let’s not forget the people who were just straight up banned when they expressed their disapproval of banning the pirate communities.

You’re definitely right, a lot of the time this place feels like Reddit lite

My comment quoting the Mueller report got deleted from .world because I was spreading “mis information”.

I recall a mod on their politics community who posted a mod-flaired comment informing us that “the United States is not a racist nation.”

To be fair, there is no option to comment not flaired as a mod once you become one. Which honestly seems like an oversight. I’m quite active so I’ve volunteered to mod some big communities that have asked since I’m more likely to see a report but I dislike that now it’s as though I can’t properly participate as just a normal user.
