Help me name a new sub

submitted by [deleted] from (self.whatever)

So I was thinking about starting a sub called something like MemoryHolers where we can post videos or web pages that we have backed up or archived or otherwise made available to prevent it from falling into a memory hole. To preserve history or at least well made conspiracy videos.

By posting them here too we can encourage each other to keep archiving and see some interesting stuff that isn't really new or news. Mainly what I see the need for is backing up YouTube videos to dtube and bitchute and wherever, since YT is deleting shit like it's going out of style.

s/MemoryHoles? s/ArchiveSquad? s/ISavedTheInternetToday?

Edit: check out /s/DownTheMemoryHole

I would go with /s/DownTheMemoryHole to make it super obvious you're referencing 1984, but they're all good

MnemonicInternet or InternetMnemonics

Mnemonic:

  • assisting or intended to assist memory. To distinguish "principal" from "principle" use the mnemonic aid "the principal is your pal."

  • of or relating to memory. mnemonic skill

More serious: WebArchive (so everyone knows what it is)

ArchivedWeb(s)

WebRecords

RecEdWeb

Sounds a lot like already existing ArchiveTeam:

Archive Team is a loose collective of rogue archivists, programmers, writers and loudmouths dedicated to saving our digital heritage. Since 2009 this variant force of nature has caught wind of shutdowns, shutoffs, mergers, and plain old deletions - and done our best to save the history before it's lost forever.

UPD Also there's a bit similar https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/

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.

Memory hole is good....blacklistedstash or censorcache maybe? Doesn't really say it like memory hole, maybe one of the words triggers something you're looking for.

Great idea!

Ohh censorcache is nice. I'll probably go with magnora's suggestion s/DownTheMemoryHole

I like Magnora's idea or censorcache but really I'm commenting so I find out what the verdict is and subscribe lol

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Well here's a start: /s/DownTheMemoryHole/
