i've always told y'all to not rely on the internet archive but now w/ everything going on in the us it's more important than ever
archive everything yourself. download all the ia archives you think you'll need. save everything u might need (eg trans care).
websites:
techy people - use grab-site or heritrix
semi-techy people - set up and use archivebox.io
every1 - save pages by printing to pdf or using archival extensions
videos (yt/tt/etc):
techy - use yt-dlp
every1 - use cobalt.tools
download wikipedia - techy ppl can figure out the other methods but kiwix is the easiest way to do it for most
download transfem science
preserve anything local to you
fyi internet archive pages can be deleted
make sure you have more than 1 platform for contacting your friends
also this is not ia hate post, i love the internet archive!!
but it's operating within us jurisdiction and must follow the appropriate laws, you cannot rely on it as the only place to preserve everything.
do not let *them* erase you, your culture, and your history.
