Lost fan media and internet content
The longer social media exists available to the public the more media and content is lost to time and the internet.
Websites get shut down, accounts are deleted, posts are wiped, art is edited, songs are remixed, stories are lost, pilots are kept private, games coding language die out, conversations get rewritten, physical media wears down, fandoms lose traction.
You don't know what will be gone or when. save/download/bind/archive/reblog those things you love.
Download that video you enjoy, make that playlist into mp3/CDs, turn that fanfic/short story into a book, write down those quotes, scan those physical things, buy those books you will read over and over.
#hopecore#internet culture#the internet#internet archiving#the internet archive#fandom things#fandom culture#This was inspired by the fact the backyardigans pilot was finally released to the public#And the blog of one of my favorite animation being deactivated#So many things can disappear before you know it#Save it now while you can#I save fanart under the file name of the artist and platform I found it on#And I save HTML files of fanfics I enjoy#permaculture#Internet collecting#I tend to call it#Internet hoarding/media hoarding#Collect things you like folks#Save what you can when you can
