    @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org Not well documented, but living in Sk during the T Guggenmos controversy, it was TG’s twitter tweats record on archive.org that couldn’t be denied and dismissed that did him in. Someone (in SK?) had the foresight to add his twitter feed to archive.org. It made a record of everything that couldn’t be hidden. Archive.org allows anyone to add an existing online site to the archive https://archive.org/ https://tammyrobert.substack.com/p/one-of-my-most-vicious-online-trolls

    @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org Thank you. As a #whistleblower , hounded by the powers-that-be, I have found the #WaybackMachine very useful, for retrieving my subversive writings from the past, some of which have ceased to exist where I hosted them. Is there a way I can publish an article on my blog, and then immediately request for the content to be crawled, and a snapshot to be archived?

  • @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org save something before it disappears means downloading it to local storage, not saving it to a list on IA. Can't tell you how many times something I saved to a list or my favorites has been taken down because some grubby company decided it no longer what it claims to own should be archived

  • @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org Are there plans to distribute workloads to the public in the near future? While a central storage should be kept online for as long as possible, it's not going to be there forever, and accessing some pages can take ages at times. Depending on how raw storage is handled on your side, would it be possible to distribute frequently accessed files/sites/database chunks to alleviate content delivery loads? I'd gladly seed a few 100s gigabytes if that means lowering your hosting fees.

  • @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org And it’s not a place for us to “share” artists’ work without their permission, right? The old mass media pimps, and the new para #socialmedia pimps, are going to keep using that to keep us clinging to them and the bots they promise will (eventually) manage our royalties.

    @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org If only it vetted uploads andrespected intellectual property by refusing copyrighted material uploaded without permission of the owners, I could get behind that.
