    It would be a shame if another website pop up and uploaded these removed book to it and call it, idk, Internet Alexandria or something.

      I dunno. I think there are enough things named after men.

      Maybe a nice neutral woman’s name… Like, Anna?

      And it’s more about preservation and archival, so I think it should be called an Archive, not a library.

      Yeah, Anna’s Archive. Great name. Let’s go with that one.

      Would be a shame if they decided to call it something with the letter z and the word library in it

      It’s great that these projects already exist

      but it hurts accessibility that you need to be “in the know” to find out about it.

      every media outlet has to mention WayBackMachine; it’s such a great outreach and legitimizing
