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.

@datahoarder Oddly the daily Google Drive posts have dried up since moving to Lemmy? I hope this means people have found more sustainable storage.

I'd probably bet that the people that have filtered through to Lemmy probably already have their own data storage already sorted - you've got less "casuals" as it were. I use Google Drive myself, trying to figure out an alternative.
