- sp332 7y agoThis is mentioned in the article so... yeah. Anyways AT will not get everything. It's hard to archive private groups, rate limiting seems unpredictable, bugs are still getting worked out of the scripts. If there's a group you really want saved, don't sit around and hope AT gets it. Use the tools in the article.

- dredmorbius 7y agoI had experience working with ArchiveTeam on the G+ shutdown. 1. They're AMAZING. 2. They're not superhuman. 3. Major archival projects take time to prepare, set up, and execute. 4. Only public content is even potentially accessible. Much can get lost. AT did a stellar job with G+, it's still a far cry from the access that was provided when Google hosted the content. Google actively and by all appearances deliberately thwarted and frustrated archival efforts. This was a tremendous disappointment. It's quite likely Yahoo will do similarly. If you want your own control over archives, you're going to want to use / run tools directly yourself. TL;DR: AT is a huge benefit, but it's not a total solution.
- ninju 7y agoJust a question regarding comment format Shouldn't the TL;DR: message be at the top of the comment, thereby not having to read the entire comment (since its too long :-)) to get the summary statement
