Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
Kinda sad to think about, the internet as we know it is sorta on life support. We’re like steps away from blending our personal life with our work life. Shit’s terrifying
I’m probably just talking consequences of enshitification. But it’s so wild that it’ll get worse 
I wonder how feasible it would be to backup the internet archive onto a laptop to keep for after the collapse. I know all of wikipedia (text only no images) is only like 40 gb.
Edit: from the about page for internet archive:
A single copy of the Internet Archive library collection occupies 145+ Petabytes of server space
Guess we arent saving much of that :/
the year is 2050, currently spelunking into old cities looking for hard drives with PDFs of pre-collapse human knowledge on them. Haven't found an unencrypted drive that would start in over a month.
