I donate to the internet archive every year, but they need to decentralize their data into a distributed p2p protocol fucking ASAP.
Trying to fight fascism in oligarch-owned courts is a losing battle. All it takes is one corrupt judge and we lose the library of Alexandria. Centralizing an “internet archive” in any jurisdiction was always a mistake. I don’t want to fund court battles. I want to donate hard drives, CPU’s, and bandwidth for the rest of my life.
The longer they do not do this, the less value I see in my donations, and the more I feel they are not proper custodians of the data they hold. It feels like they aren’t taking the risks, or their value, seriously.
Not that I’m aware of. From the limited number of articles I’ve read that aren’t fluff, the founder(s) seem more idealistic than practical, but I don’t know their situation or domain well enough to be confident in an opinion either way.

Have they ever stated a reason why they haven’t?
