A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Awesome work! Big respect to all the data hoarders out there, doing their bit to preserve the thoughts and opinions of the many!

Data hoarders are a weird bunch that is absolutely essential to society. (Speaking as a steam game hoarder who has played less than 5% of the games I’ve bought. I just can’t seem to stop buying games)

You're an archivist. Though I like that you own the term 'data hoarder' so nobody can use it as a pejorative.

Yeah I think data hoarder is like the geek/nerd from 90s. They're (almost) no longer a pejorative, but rather a sort of badge of honor. With how important it is getting to archive data for personal or for public use, I can see data hoarder becoming a badge of honor in the future.

Lemmy datahoarder community is kinda dead though, maybe people reading this thread would like to subscribe.

Unless there is another community I'm unaware of. Also I don't think that link works, not sure if there is a way to format community links that I'm not aware of.

The lemmy community is not big enough to fill such niche communities yet. It will come in time as more users show up.
