Comment on People will forget what the covid signs looked like

People will forget - like we eventually forget about everything - but the information doesn’t have to disappear from the internet.
Have a website, blog, etc? Write about your experience, what you saw other people doing, the reactions, what politicians did, what you felt, etc. Archive the pages on the usual archival sites, so something lives on even after you die.
Just like some people went back to read what the newspapers wrote about the “Spanish” flu 100 years ago, someone is likely to get back to what we wrote/filmed/saved during this pandemic.

Facebook’s shitty search ability, retribution against reddit, photobucket’s apocalypse, dozens of site rebrandings, and the death of hundreds of other popular sites has proven posts on the internet are as temporary as paper. It only lasts if someone properly archives it, just as was the case with those 1919 newspaper articles.

Yeah, whoever said whatever you post on the internet is there forever was SO wrong
