On: Show HN: Web pages stored entirely in the URL

But somehow you need to share the link itself, right?

So instead of sharing the link couldn't you just... Share whatever the message or content is?

Edit: what I'm saying is that "activists" (which is an interesting concern btw) will pressure the platform that the link is being shared on because the link IS the content.

[paulddraper → wybiral]

Yes. This is simply sharing content.*

*Though the content is integrated well with modern browsers.

[Skunkleton → wybiral]

The link is just a method of packaging a website. Its a neat idea.

[atoav → wybiral]

Which also means rhat everybody with the link can change it’s content which means you cannot trust this content more than the person who sent it to you.

Why not just copy and paste the content directly?

For the same reason your not sending html-files via email when you want to share a website I suppose.
