It's so weird to think what will happen to the voices of movements that were widespread and then become fragmented as time goes on. Somehow it feels like the internet never forgets but then what happened to the voices of Occupy? I hope the Fediverse will help in preserving such things with it's decentralized nature. No fuck boy Elons running around deciding what history stays written.

The Fediverse is far worse for keeping things.

Lots of small instances, who’s hosts aren’t able to run a server for as many years as a large company can afford to.

All your comments are one bad day away from your admin deciding to close down their server and spend there energy elsewhere.
