We tell each other to self host in order to escape the big corps. But when we die, all the self hosted stuff is going to get wiped and history will only remember the archives that got stored by the big corps. And you know how history is written by the winners. Do we need a way to automatically hand over our sites to archive.org or similar? Or send them disc images? Nobody expects to get run over by a car but some of us will, today. I made no plans for this.
@kensanata "Save page now" on https://archive.org/web/
However, they automatically index pretty much everything that's truly public. Meaning no archiving of ANY Facebook posts etc., because of the login wall. So no, the corps will not remember you for the rest of history. The Internet Archive will.
@raucao @kensanata oh cool. I wonder if there’s a way to trigger this automatically when we publish pages?
@n @kensanata I vaguely remember there being one, but if not, you could just set up a headless browser script.
