A lot of links are archive.is which doesn't load for my region. I have to use archive.ph. If you replace .is, .li, .fo, .ph, .vn or .md with .today the link will automatically redirect to the correct site for anyone that clicks on it. Or, now that you know, you can be a retard and continue posting links that only half the board can read.

archive.today - is a gateway that redirects to one of the final destinations (.is, .li, .fo, .ph, .vn and .md) based on load and availability. It provides archive.today flexibility to dynamically redirect traffic to other domains/servers.

I prefer web.archive.org

Same

and doesn't require this extra step to edit the end url.

I hate extra steps when making posts. I will solve this tomorrow because I also hate extra steps to view posts.

I hate extra steps when making posts.

Especially archiving sources ... so many still don't bother archiving before posting. I can't tell you how many dozens of times I've read a breaking article, scanned the s/new page for posts on the subject to not find it posted yet, set up the post for submission, go through the archive process, copy/pasta the archived link, finally hit submit ... only to find someone posted the same or different article on the same breaking news (with no archive) while I was preparing the post and waiting for the archive to complete. Then I have to go back and delete my post. Frustrating waste of effort.

Here is an article that was archived via archive.ph ==> https://archive.ph/o09fK

Same article using web.archive.org ==> https://web.archive.org/web/20230726124705/https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/npr-calls-effort-make-people-eat-bugs-right/

I'm not an expert archivist, I just started using archive within the past year here. Thanks for explaining how archive.today/... is supposed to work, I get it. To me, web.archive.org is a much better product. You say they are the same, please explain. They appear distinctly different to me; different URL, different GUI, different code, different efficiency.

I was just saying that I also preferred web.archive.org.
