      Pretty sure that’s the internet archive which takes snapshots of websites.

      You’re looking at the website x.com waaaay back in 1997, where they said they aren’t nearly the worst website on the internet. As opposed to now, where it is a cesspool of toxicity.

          x.com was PayPal before it got renamed and then the donain was unused until the twitter fiasko.

      Captures from an Internet Archive sweep of the web. There are so many captures since the domain has been active since the 90s and was part of a great many scans.

      Browse the captures for yourself if you like
