@tomjennings
Yeah, memorizing is exactly not archiving. 🤷♂️
@ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology
In fact it is pretty much the opposite.
@tomjennings @technology @pluralistic @ajsadauskas It's important to note though that some boards acquired community wikis and archives way sooner, like /tg/.
In part because faithfully and accurately memorizing entire homebrew sourcebooks is not a reasonable prospect.
Not that that's stopped 4chan before
@tomjennings @ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology And then he went to work for Google.
@tomjennings @ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology then there's just the massive history of music, live performances, both official and unofficial, even phone recordings, local/unknown bands, demos, etc., that will likely be lost in purges in the future... I still can't really find many of the old (very poor) phone recordings and lofi recordings of metal bands from the early 00's to early 10's that I knew... A lot of artists are starting to come around to digital distribution and upload old stuff, but... then there's just the absurd amount of defunct/dead bands (that admittedly no one cares about)
