According to /u/diorama, Lemmy is making use of archive.is. This site is particularly insideous and destructive to Tor users. Archive.is is a CloudFlare site, which in itself aligns it with privacy and netneutrality abuses. But worse, the usual tools Tor users use to reach the content are useless against archive.is. That is, Tor Browser normally gets past the Google reCAPTCHA on CloudWalled sites, but archive.is is an exception. Archive.org refuses to access archive.is, so Tor users also can’t use archive.org to reach content held by archive.is.

I’m not sure what circumstance causes Lemmy to use archive.is, but Lemmy should go a step further. That is, when anyone posts a link to a CloudFlare site, Lemmy should regard this as a link that leads from the free world into an exclusive walled-garden where access inequality arises. When a user submits a post with an offending link, they should get a warning. Whether the user has the option to override the warning should be configurable & controlled by the node admin. When such posts are made, logged-in readers should additionally have a config option to hide such posts.
