Seems like a group of people dedicated to archiving American research that is at risk of being removed from the web.

Is it for the sake of “Trump proofing” or are there other reasons? Looking at what has been safeguarded one thinks they are expecting a some sociology department purge. No matter what one might think it’s still a really bad idea to start a book burning. Even if it could be objectively proven that all that stuff is nonsense and dangerous it still doesn’t mean that they warrant destruction, because everything is worthy of keeping around because it can still be referenced and for history’s sake. People who ban books and restrict access are really more afraid of an argument than protecting the truth.
fyi: Never title our posts like “I found this on site X” or “I found this to be cool”. It’s seriously bad practice.
They’re already purging everything that includes the words diversity, inclusion and equity, you know that once they start, they’ll continue to add stuff that needs to be deleted, like trans, racism, any economics that isn’t neoliberal, etc.

Being
white(thanks autocorrect)quiet is exactly what they want. They want to snuff out all opposing voices so only their own can be heard.
Yeah, I’d like to know what they’re worried will happen. Because this sounds like a complete overreaction.
Better safe than sorry I guess, but I’d really like to know what they’re keeping it safe from. Surely backups already exist for anything deemed important.
It’s called “Mastodon”.
