individuals with the Internet and basic coding skills can be archiving and hosting these sites. I'm surprised @craignewmark.bsky.social and Wikipedia folk haven't or aren't publicly on this. would love to know if any groups or people archiving and/or re hosting the content that is being taken down

I think @healthjournalism.org is doing something as well.

Yes! We are! A lot of working with at the intersection of the groups you mentioned.

I advise everyone who gets Social Security to download a copy of your Verification of Benefits Letter (easy to do), and a copy of the main web page that states what Medicare benefits you get. Keep these hard copies.

Good. Musk, Republicans, and Trump are destroying everything.

https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior. is and has been busting their butts saving as much as they can for years. Highly recommend installing their client (Pc and Mac versions available) and letting it munch on websites while they are still there.

Massive danger in Americans backing up American government data to site based in America, Nazi saluting President musk and his side kick Trump can force them to delete it.

They should back it up in another jurisdiction Canada, UK, ideally Ukraine.

It may be a Bluesky glitch, but FYI, none of the responses to this post — including your own — are being shown in the app or on the website. (Your response is visible in the main timeline but not on the post itself.) Haven't seen this on any other posts; curious.

My response isn't visible either. Hmm.

it happens sometimes that I can’t see my own responses after posting them but they’re obviously visible to others because I got replies to them.

Haven't seen that, either, but this is *no* responses, including her own. Could very well be a bug (as a developer I've seen, and probably written, worse) but I'm going to keep an eye out for similar behaviour.

Not every group is saving everything -- e.g. the enviro groups are mostly focused on enviro/climate data, 19th News on repro rights/maternal outcomes, etc.
