I’ll have to check out archive.org. Thanks!

Archive.org is the OG, run by Internet Archives. However the downside is that you can't just make up a link - with archive.is you can just append the URL you want and it will work (eventually, once it's actually done its archiving) but with archive.org you have to actually go to the site and paste the URL, then you'll see all the snapshots it has and each link has the date and time of the snapshot.

If archive.org could do something to make it easier to make links that would be perfect.

It's not that hard, actually. Do something like https://web.archive.org/web/99999999999999/https://kbin.social/, note the nines.

Archive.today has an extra feature where you can see radically different versions of websites from the past instead of having to hunt through archive.org's history, not to mention the washington post doesn't block them.
