I think I read on a lemmy post the other day that archive.is... kills babies? I don't remember what it was, but that they're bad and shouldn't be used because of the badness.

Apparenly DDOSing a blog iirc. You're not allowed to use it over at the Europe community because of it.

DDOSing a blog that was doing free work for Big Copyright and Big Paywall by trying to doxx the archive.is operator.
