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.

This. Women are already literally dying. The first woman (that we know of) to die from the abortion ban happened within just 20 days – before SCOTUS even heard the case that overturned Roe. And her story is a painful, heartbreaking read.
Plus, does nobody remember immigrant families being ripped apart? Kids put in cages? Their “family ID” being – whoops – deleted from the database so they couldn’t be reunited with their parents?
But sure. Life will go on like normal.
