Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Is there a way (or desire for that matter) to port the datahoarder subreddit history/comments/etc to lemmy? (sh.itjust.works)

It would be a shame to lose the wealth of knowledge with easy-ish search that subreddits like datahoarder provide if the subreddit is taken down or stays locked forever. Sure it is currently accessible, but will it stay that way?

I know it is being archived, but the accessibility part is the problem.

I love this idea. It raises some issues to think about, too. Like, who “owns” that data? Would Reddit file a lawsuit against the Lemmy instance arguing that the data belongs to Reddit? Does the data belong to the users who posted? What TOS do we agree to when signing up for a Reddit account? Are we giving them ownership of all content we post?
