Who are we?
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. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

You do know that there's two korean countries, right?
What are you talking about? There's one Korea and half of it is occupied by an imperialist army.
Am I on .world? Why are people downvoting objective reality?
Oh, so they share their passport, their borders, their economy and so forth? Do you also believe that all countries that speak English, is the UK? or US?
You can accept or reject the claim that South Korea is an imperialist outpost of the US. I don't care about that right now.
But you do know that nothing in OPs comment implies that the two korea's share passports or anything like that, right? Like, come on, these are basic reading comprehension skills.
Why do I have to put up with this kind of feigned ignorance after being made to look at maps that include Crimea in Ukraine for like a decade now?
