I think that HN itself also shadow flags submissions from a list of domains it doesn't like.

Try submitting a URL from the following domains, and it will be automatically flagged (but you can't see it's flagged unless you log out):

  - archive.is
  - watcher.guru
  - stacker.news
  - zerohedge.com
  - freebeacon.com
  - thefederalist.com
  - breitbart.com

Good.

Hacker News isn't an open-ended political site for people to post weird propaganda.

>>chasin+m1
How's archive.is "weird propaganda"?

>>mutant+z1
It isn't banned in comments - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que..., https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que..., etc.

We probably banned it for submissions because we want original sources at the top level.

Then why web.archive.org isn't also banned? [1] And what about things which aren't available from the original source anymore?

Because web.archive.org is generally used for...

... things which aren't available from the original source anymore.

While archive.is is generally used to bypass paywalls. These 2 websites have 2 very distinct missions and use-cases.
