Hello everyone,
Has anyone ever considered potentially building or launching a platform similar to the Internet Archive but using ActivityPub?
This could serve as a decentralized network to document, preserve, and protect online content from loss, censorship, and other threats, ensuring its availability for future generations.
For those unfamiliar, the Internet Archive is a non-profit that has been preserving digital media and promoting universal access to knowledge since 1996.
It’s famous for services like the Wayback Machine and Archive-It.
Given the importance of preserving digital heritage, especially in the context of censorship and data loss, a Fediverse-based equivalent could fill a crucial role.
The decentralized nature of ActivityPub could provide a robust alternative to centralized solutions.
I’d love to see this kind of project come to life, but, unfortunately, I lack the motivation, time, and energy to take it on alone.
Has anyone else ever considered something similar?
Are there any existing projects that might be interested in this direction?
