The website truthsocial.com is of interest (one way or another) to everyone, but as far as I can tell it is not being archived by Archive.org. Is there some other service that can archive this site? It would be useful (for countless reasons) to have it archived, by a trusted third-party, so there is a historical record of all posts, and trust that posts have not been modified or deleted (likely for partisan reasons).

If an individual, a news organization on some other social media, etc. published a screenshot of a post, but some day in the future the original post itself was modified, the person who made and modified the post could claim that the modified post is the original, and the screenshot of what was in fact the original post is 'fake news'.

(I believe this falls under sub rule 9: "Requested projects should be meaningful to others, not just yourself" and also "large possibility of becoming lost/destroyed", and by that I take it to mean 'modified' as I outlined above.)

Possible issue with Rule 2, so let me know if this bit is not acceptable...

A certain person created a post on truthsocial claiming that he would release a report proving the 2020 election was rigged, but he never did release that report (most likely because there is no such report). Others have posted screenshots of this post, and links to it, but it is certainly possible that this person could modify or delete this post, and since it is not saved by archive.org*, the person who made the post could claim those screenshots are 'fake news'. Having not only this one post, but all posts on this site archived by a trusted third party, would remedy this issue, and be useful to everyone, no matter any partisan affiliation.

* It is possible this post is archived by Archive.org, but maybe I'm doing it wrong... I've checked many links and I only ever get an error as seen in the screenshot.
