Michael Tsai shares a few snippets of people lamenting that older digital items are not being preserved here.
One snippet from Kelsey Lewin:

Gruber closing out his thoughts on the preemptive blocking of Facebook’s ActivityPub thing,
Openness doesn’t mean you have to interact with everything on the protocol because it’s built on the protocol.
I do not understand why the pushback is on the people saying they won’t work with Facebook when Facebook has consistently for 20 years shown they aren’t trustworthy.
It is 2023 and tech reviewers are still marking “no headphone jack” under the Bad part of a review?
It’s been 7 years since Apple started the death of the headphone jack. Give it up tech reviewers, it’s done. The headphone jack is over, killed. And your beloved Apple pulled the trigger.
Okay, Google. I know you’re not the best, but can you at least make sure you’re not sending me marketing email for a product I already pre ordered from you?
