Lemmy.world has somehow decided to become to extreme defenders of "copyright" and decided they will now delete posts that contain archive links in an absurd move that not even corporate websites like Reddit do. Archive links provide a service to provide access to an article long after it is deleted or changed.
They made this post and locked it immediately so no one can comment on how ridiculous it is and they're deleting threads about the decision...

The LW admins have requested that communities remove any posts that include the entire article or archive links to articles.
A short summary is allowed, but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. This includes links to sites that rehost copyrighted articles for paywall sites.
If your post is removed for a rule 1 violation you can edit the post and let the moderators know the copyrighted material has been removed.
Thanks All!
Am I the only one who thinks chat apps are making the internet kinda worse by locking up useful information behind a system that can't be indexed\searched through on search engines? I know chatrooms could be odd to have appear on google searches but so many orgs and software projects now use discord etc as their support section so resolving an issue once doesn't help people in the future searching for the solution.
with that being said im glad matrix is improving
EDIT: apparently this is being worked on https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive thanks @testman@lemmy.ml for linking this. Now they just need to also start working on Threads which im assuming is already on their roadmap
