- capableweb 6y agoI'm not familiar with r/datahoarder, but if the name bears any significance, it seems they are mostly centered on hoarding data, which means just digital I guess? If so, I much rather would want to promote efforts like Internet Archive that back up all kind of things, not just digital data.
