Is there an Onion archive.today?
I would at the very least be hesitant to provide such a service, and I’ve gotta imagine that I’m far from alone :)

It's always been a very bad newspaper internationally, we could mention the Irak war cover or the constant attacks of EU countries.
Or covering for Stalin and denying the famine in ukraine.

#114Reddit still has an onion service but is defacto unusable
That being said, I only lurk so I don't know if there are any additional restrictions when trying to log in.
Is that the same issue you have or is it something else?
Re: New York Times shut down Tor Onion service
#115WhatsApp and Telegram are hardly replacements for Tor access. A government can block them easily. The onion service's days were numbered after they fired Runa Sandvik. I'm surprised it lasted this long. Looking at the pay and current labor disputes, it seems like the New York Times isn't a good place for a skilled software engineer to work these days. They'll keep running SecureDrop over an onion service, right...?
Also, you tell a private company information that you are reading the NYT and which articles you read. If the NYT is banned or a signal of suspicion where you live, that doesn't help.
Re: New York Times shut down Tor Onion service
#116Journalists speak truth to power, meanwhile the NYT aligns itself with power at every opportunity. For example, they knew the NSA was spying on us but never ran the story to protect GW's chances at reelection. Presumably they didn't want to be seen as anti-establishment with the new powers and are reverting to their time-proven behavior. NYT will lick the boot when presented, same as ever.
They did run the story; they withheld it for awhile.
> to protect GW's chances at reelection
Is there evidence of that? I've never heard it and I promise that no Republican thinks the NY Times actively helping them.

The propaganda outlets have really been pushing hard the line that you can't trust professional journalists, and people who get their news from influencers just seem to accept it uncritically.
It’s not propaganda, Noam Chomsky wrote a book about how media is used to advance otherwise unpopular government policies decades ago and the NYT is mentioned in it. If anything this post is propaganda.
And then, where do you get information?

Hey what is up with Biden’s rapid decline nowadays, anyway? I guess considering the rate he was apparently declining when it was a hot-button political issue, by now he must be a vegetable by now, right?
It wasn't a rapid decline. The media ignored it and covered it up but there were signs of serious cognitive decline even before he was elected.

But once he was out of the race and there was only one old guy, age ceased to become an issue. That's what makes what they're doing kind of insidious. They're not making things up - Biden is indeed old. It's how they weight things and how much they push them. There's a reason the "NYT Pitch Bot" account is so popular - it's poking fun at a real phenomenon.
Are you claiming that the NYT is biased in favor of Trump? That's so hard to take seriously that I don't even know what to say to that.

Re: New York Times shut down Tor Onion service
#120Despite the symbolism, does this change anything about their reachability from Tor? Is there any practical advantage to a website in being explicitly reachable as a hidden service on Tor, as opposed to simply not blocking exit node IPs?
