As I discover people's alternative ways of communication elsewhere, I'll be unfollowing here. Don't take it badly - it's just optimizing for Not Here. 3.4K views · 34 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Livestreaming at https://t.co/aNaLb2KEjG - I don't post much on twitter anymore, so that's a good reason to subscribe to the twitch stream (or follow me on Bluesky) 3.4K views · 4 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@textfiles @internetarchive I had about 15 blogs in 1999 and I can only find maybe two of them in the internet archive and I'm still waiting for Brewster to find what I wrote about Star Wars back then that I remember was really funny. 5.3K views · 28 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

This is a huge lean on a non-profit, but the video internet (videos as primary sources of information) is definitely a critical piece of culture and online community/life. So there is an enormous amount of effort happening. This is both internal and external. 11.1K views · 320 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Some people have attempted to mirror/archive specific accounts and specific groups, to keep a more robust and deep set for those groups/accounts. The groups/accounts sometimes decline that favor, and ask material to not be available. 12.1K views · 229 likes · 1 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →

But in the aggregate, the Archive has been archiving live music, video, and other works by creators for over 25 years, and is doing so constantly, and the statement of the fact they're doing this was (is) the place itself. 11.4K views · 256 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

I'll take a shot at this. The Internet Archive is maintaining an archive of roughly 5 petabytes of what are called "Social Media Video" - twitch streams, capcut templates, tiktok, coub, youtube, and more. And that number is growing by the thousands every week. 124.8K views · 1.9K likes · 70 reposts · 9 replies Open on X →
