I really used to enjoy /r/datahoarders. Except for how right wing it was. Too much focused around the interests of white, male, anglo, north american, cis, het, rich, etc etc. Libertarian. Occasionally in the best way, more commonly in the worst ways.
Is there any such communities which are more expansive than archiving every Nirvana bootleg or getting the most hi quality version of The Simpsons? Or any interest in such a thing?
Be your own archive. Who knows when sites get yanked or censored or memory holed or what quality degredarion like Youtube does to older vids. Then I have DVDs and books coming out of my ears. Loke my walls are lined with a shit ton of books and I have towers of movies. Binders of data CDs and DVDs. (They’re more fragile than you"d think)
Don’t know about communities around it, sorry. It’s just been soemthing I’ve had the habbit of for since ever.
