“One day, Twitter and other publishing platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or Medium will indeed die, like so many sites before them. And every time this happens, we lose most of the content we created and with it a fair amount of our collective cultural history.”

@matthiasott my only issue with this idea is that everything will come to an end eventually. I used to follow a guy who ran a #raspberrypi drone blog half a decade ago but since his passing, I can’t find any records of his build log anymore. My only guess as to what happened is that his family stopped paying for hosting and the site came down too. I wish there were records left of him outside of my memory :(

Hey @Raspberry_Pi does anyone over there have copies of Andy Baker’s blog from 2013-2015? I remember following it years ago but it might just be lost to time
