Why would you post a paywalled article? This isn't the first time I've clicked on something you've posted and found it's a paywalled Wall Street Journal article. Can you please stop? If I can't read the whole thing, please don't post it.

(hmm would be kinda cool if we had a bot that checked archive for already-saved copies and posted the link...)

Thank you.

would be kinda cool if OP just fucking did this themselves

I'll be over here beating myself up because I'm too demoralized to write a bot

I looked into it a bit and this shouldn't be too bad. Use rss to get new hexbear posts, check links against a whitelist of sites that should be archived, check archive.ph/latest/ to find an existing archive. If you get one (302 response) post it, otherwise (404 response) use https://archive.ph/submit/?url= to request an archive. Wait 5 minutes, then query archive.ph/latest/ to get the url and post that.

I might try to throw something together in the next week.

Thats a weird way to thank someone for posting something that might interest you. Also, even when op doesnt post the archieved version, commenters do fairly often, so you could just check

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
