Most of the content I found mildly interesting at best, but my major criticism is everything is stretched in overly long narratives. TLDR in almost all cases I visited the site.

"openly fascist" I disagree with you here. Proud boys was originally created out of the need to protect people from the likes of Antifa, which is a facist group. Most activists/hacktivists are fascists. If you don't agree with them, they cause issue, violence, and/or destruction until they get their way. Opposing groups like this does not make one fascist.

| Proud boys was originally created out of the need to protect people from the likes of Antifa, which is a facist group. Even Gavin McInness says you're wrong here. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/06/the-secret-history-o... | McInnes, an avid boozer, has consistently maintained that he started the Proud Boys as an outlet for harmless fun: an Animal House-style drinking club for male buddies. https://web.archive.…
Could you link to the quote where he says this? The article claims he said it, but I couldn’t find the quote.
They ran out of dangerous places to do designer drugs. In all honesty, Vice was a cool outlet for out-there stories for teens and adults alike. Shame it’s shutting down but then again I never supported it.

If you don’t have some form of automated throttling, couldn’t that still become costly if a popular webpage started pulling resources from that bucket? If so, their warning could have been phrased better, but isn’t incorrect.
You can put the bucket behind Cloudfront and only give access to the bucket to Cloudfront.
This sure feels like another notch in the "the web is fundamentally broken" belt. Google search continues to get worse, I can't find a recipe without diving past a few dozen ads, and now content creation sites are abandoning their own domains in favor of posting their new content direct to social media. It really is starting to feel like the web will be nearly useless in the next year or two.

Yes, he left Vice over "creative differences" a couple of years before he founded Proud Boys. He wasn't as openly fascist while at Vice, though Vice definitely had to do some damage control over his comments.

we have taken over other people's systems with mechanism (like purl.org ) but a static website would be even easier--
redirects galore (20 million broken links fixed in wikipedia) or give us the domain name. We even had a 404 handler people could put on their website, but that may be out of date-- if others want to put it on their website (please vice!) we would bring it up to date.
We also have a 404 service in the Brave browswer (go Brave!). Please communicate to Chrome folks, Mozilla, others how awesome it would be for them to build this into their browser.
info@archive.org if you would like to do something like this.
