Hi there,

Anyone ( and @EuroMod@feddit.org. ) knows whether the community rules of Europe.feddit.org have been changed recently? Am a bit confused, for example:

  • I just saw under the rules that the old Archive. Today ( Archive. ph ; .is etc) websites are not to be used due to a possible changed and malicious ddos-script. There is a link to a (for me unknown) blog post as an explainer. Also, more officially there is a FBI action going on. Both are from January 2026.

  • However, Archive. Today has always been vague . Afaik, I think Sunshine?, has posted about attention to tid matter because It reroutes to a Russian IP. But still, there isn’t much choice nowadays.

  • Is using the wayback machine Archive.org thus still ok , and all other options like deblock sites?

  • The title states “Rules (2024-08-30)”, which strangely enough is an USA date format, and secondly if rules are updated so should imo the date of changes be updated accordingly, I assume.

  • Could be more rules have changed. Like I believed, but could be I’m wrong, that post titles should use the “official article title”, or at least match the content. I’m not sure.

  • If the rules were indeed recently changed, please condider informing the community about Rule changes going forward, via a post and updating the date in the Community info .

#edit syntax ;and deleted (European) as Mods use ISO date format, TIL.

    Sure. You write numbers with the most significant digit to the left, and least significant one to the right. That’s kind of how we all write all numbers, so it should be the same with dates 😉 Though we have all kinds of crazy people and they’ll say it’s “dreiviertel fünf” and nobody has any clue what time that’s supposed to be… I’d argue it should not be that weird, though 😅

      Lol. Yeah, but that’s time though. On the other hand what’s date, if not time? Tbh I was shocked to realize that it’s the differences in many sort of calenders in the world that caused date ISO. Even though I knew there were several of them, it never occurred to me this might influence time & date annotation formats as well.
