@rm4 Yes! I think some sort of federated archival system would be awesome, but I guess that already basically exists through torrents!

Individually? Not much! Organize, donate to FOSS institutions (web archive) and fight capitalism and it's final stage: fascism!

@ErikUden @rm4 torrent is dead... Trackers are closed and banned (eu).

Only some private Trackers managed to survive...

Torrent needs to evolve, to expand trackerless features and become truly decentralized.

@ErikUden @rm4 the national library already exists. It's called Nationalbibliothek. Every German-language book etc. published in Germany must be made physically available to the national libraries in Leipzig and Frankfurt.

Andre Geißler

@ErikUden @rm4 to be more precise
"Its task is to collect, permanently archive, comprehensively document and record bibliographically all German and German-language publications since 1913, foreign publications about Germany, translations of German works, and the works of German-speaking emigrants published abroad between 1933 and 1945, and to make them available to the public"

@rdfhrn @ErikUden @rm4
Same in the UK. Every book must be made available to the British Lirbrary, the National Libraries of Scotland and Wales, and the libraries of the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin.

Fascists could target those libraries, though the fact that one of them is outside the UK does help.

@ErikUden @rm4 torrents get bad after a decade or so, big ones, sure, they work, but most will just not have anyone seeding them anymore
