Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

MODERATORS
I'm not super familiar with the Archive Team - what distinguishes this specific archiving effort from the dataset that PushShift archived? Is this primarily focusing on archiving specifically media (video, iamges), or comments/submissions in the time period since PushShift closed, or everything from the entire time period from 2005 onward?
