    I did not know that. So we shouldn’t use archive links? Geez, who knew the end of the world would be paywalled.

      Archive links are fine with a handful of exceptions (The San Francisco Chronicle sends lawyers after people who post links to archived copies of their articles)

      Just don’t post the actual content itself. And I don’t post archive links when I have a gift link.

        Oh I didn’t know of those exceptions. Do you know of any others so I, among others, need to keep in mind when we post/use bots for archive links?

        What do/can journals like SF Chronicle do to people anyway, especially on sites like Lemmy or Reddit where users are technically semi-anonymous?

          They can ask the folks hosting you for your address and then ask your ISP for your info.

          They can get the instance you used to take content down and push to get the instance taken down.

          The SF chronicle is the one I’ve run into, but there are likely others
