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.

they don't need people anymore do they? they can just build an economy exclusively for corpos and billionaires, and drop the already thin fucking pretense of making shit for real people.
as for me i guess i need to buy the fucking storage i wanted to sooner rather than later.
They're way ahead of you.
AI is already buying and selling billions of dollars worth of stuff.

They're really aiming for an economy that doesn't depend on the population anymore. And that should scare the shit out of you!
