Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

I have a feeling calling the "The Great" enshitification will age up like that one "The Great" War.
"great" means large and significant. Nobody thought the war or enshittification was good
I guess you are missing some history here. "The Great" War is not the war you'd think about by hearing that name.
In fact, the name lasted about 15 years, never to be used again.
I'm not sure what war you think one would be thinking about -- I've only ever heard it used to refer to WW1.
