Where are you digital preservationists? - by Barbara Sierman
Once upon a time, there was a lively digital preservation community, sharing knowledge and expertise via social media and by personal meetings. Then there came a pandemic.
Pertinent to digipres.cafe, where are all you digital preservationists asks where is everyone these days? Post Twitter, post-X? Now we're spread in Threads across Blue Skies, Mastodons, and all the social medias...
Barbara calls for various DP interest groups to create a shared communication platform.
digipres.cafe might not be that place per se, but it might be a model for that platform as it centralizes communication about tangible links to tangible projects and developments and chatter in the digital preservation community and across Fediverse instances.
digipres.cafe is a link aggregator allows you to post from your own Fediverse instance, and subscribers to a channel, say @[email protected] from any other Fediverse instance can see, and interact with that post. It remains more persistent than other Mastodon instances by providing a focused, indexed channel, that others can interact with at any time.
Folks looking for previous links and information can come back to digipres.cafe to explore the different links and topics.
There's more information here, where to get started.
Why not digipres.cafe? -- It's just a site maintained by one person. It's a Lemmy instance, so there's one model. It has found a little traction, so there's another (there's still some work to do), but it might be something more appropriate for a group with financial resources to support and dedicate time to as needed.
