person, in scraped media links from instagram and threads

What is your goal with this?

I know, stupid question to a datahoarder. My point is that archiving all of instagram or threads would be impossible even for ArchiveTeam, much less a single person. Are these random posts, or ones you care about?

I think for me, it’s because it’s sort-of (though not!) self-archiving.

If a site has a reasonable amount of popularity and subscriptions, it would take that site going down, plus all the sites that communicated with it, for the data to be fully lost.

Not to mention that a lot of the sites are run by reasonably altruistic people, who are more likely to hand over than just shutter.

person,

A fair point!
