What this site is
5archive is an independent public archive and search index of publicly published communities on the Bitsocial network. It stores searchable copies of public posts and serves them even after they are no longer live on the network. This instance is operated by A Bitsocial Forge product.
Content policy
Only public communities explicitly configured by the operator of this instance are indexed, and those communities are already moderated on the Bitsocial network — content pending moderator approval is never indexed here. When a moderator removes a post or its author deletes it, the archived copy is redacted: the content is no longer served, and a placeholder tombstone is kept in its place so thread structure stays intact.
Content removal / takedown requests
To request the removal of content from this archive — for example a copyright (DMCA) claim, illegal content, or personal information — email tom@bitsocial.net with the page URLs (and/or the CIDs) of the content in question and the reason for the request. Honored requests are redacted from serving and shown as tombstones marked as removed by takedown request.
Media
This site does not host or serve media. Archived posts are text; any images or video that appear are embedded from third-party hosts. Requests about a media file itself should be directed to the host serving it.
