In the early web days there was a service where you email an URL to a certain email address and it responded with an email with the webpage attached.

We need that back. We need it to escape arbitrary anti-Tor anti-VPN forms of enshitification.

archive.org is very useful but we cannot rely on it.

Email has also become enshitified and it’s rightfully distrusted and even abandoned by the few true resisters who exist. So ideally it would be an onion email address that takes in the requests. Perhaps an onion activitypub UI as well.
