I don't think I understand what "screenshot" means in this context.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

I think they meant "snapshot".

[–] m_f@discuss.online 21 points 2 months ago

8 captures, mostly from crawlers. One of them lists "NationalLibraryOfLuxembourg" as the "why", which is kind of amusing. Not sure why they'd care

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago

I'm probably going to get more thanks to this post!

I've seen a few Wayback links to comment threads in the modlog used as ban reasons (which is kinda genius since it puts things into context) but why do people do that outside of that reason?

[–] Tyoda@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

For Sunshine out of the 17 only one is a direct save by a user (on November 10). All the others are automatic crawlers or captured via "outlinks" where not only the website (such as a post or the /all feed) is captured, but also everything it links to (at least in theory).

You can see how it was saved by going to the calendar overview and hovering over November 10 and then the hour, and above the calendar it will display the reason/source as "(why: save-page-now)"

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 8 points 2 months ago

Ah, gotcha. Thanks. I had assumed they were all user-saves and for malicious / petty reasons.

What the fuck? What did i do lol, why are people backing up my profile? unless this is automatic, which in this case, still weird xd

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

Gotta keep you in check!

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How many backups of your federated profile do you think there is?

How does this work? Or like why? I feel like an idiot.

One for each flamingo!

Seven. Some of them are from National Library of Luxembourg, National Library of New Zealand, Finland Web Harvest, Custom Crawl Services, Archive Bot, and Archive Team.

Seems like some entities regularly do a massive crawl of websites in an effort to archive them.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thats it we got you in our library now. Prepare to be archived.

[–] megane_kun@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Yes please!
