Well, for accessing paywalled articles .org is no replacement for .ph/.today, sadly. But it's advisable to use it as little as possible, it seems using visitors for DDoS'ing the blog is still going on.

Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links (arstechnica.com)
 

The English-language edition of Wikipedia is blacklisting Archive.today after the controversial archive site was used to direct a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against a blog.

In the course of discussing whether Archive.today should be deprecated because of the DDoS, Wikipedia editors discovered that the archive site altered snapshots of webpages to insert the name of the blogger who was targeted by the DDoS. The alterations were apparently fueled by a grudge against the blogger over a post that described how the Archive.today maintainer hid their identity behind several aliases.

Facebook is absolutely cooked in c/technology@lemmy.world

OTOH you may have missed the communication even if you were on Facebook. These days your feed is just 1/3 the groups you're in and pages you've liked, 1/3 is the "recommended for you" random garbage, and 1/3 is ads. I've missed many notifications for events that interested me, they'd pop up a few days after the event actually took place.
