The last century stored its atrocities in ink, paper, and film.
You couldn’t delete them quietly.
Today we document everything —
inside systems owned by people who profit from the chaos.
The internet made memory a battlefield.
The digital world makes history editable.
Don’t expect another 60 years of stability.
Hope for six.
If stability ever returns….

#digitalmemory: "We used to have #forums. And forums had one massive advantage: you could find things.
Search actually worked because the content was structured for retrieval. If someone asked a question that had been answered before, you could link them to it…
Then Slack happened, Discord, Teams, and we all decided that #realtimechat was simply better: More like how humans “naturally communicate” (as if there’s anything natural about the internet itself.)"

"As someone said on Mastodon when I posted about #replanting, this does unfortunately break Berners-Lee’s rule that “Cool #URIs don't change.” I think he originally wrote that in 1998, when it was almost impossible to foresee the scale of #brokenlinks & parasite SEO we are living through on today’s web.
So, maybe that 1998 rule needs to be updated: Cool URIs don’t change, but sometimes they're junked or left to rot—in which case, you need a cool new #URI."

That's why we are starting a program to facilitate the entrance of Brazilian museums into the Fediverse. We see an emerging institutional role activated by the urgent social need for memory preservation in the digital era. And we think it is time to empower, with easy-to-use tools, a network of federated museums in order to form a new social base for #digitalmemory.
