You should also be able to do this on pages via cubhub.social for any other page it federates with, once aethy is gone</li><li>For reference of time this takes, I had 12,000 posts and used the hide images addon before starting the process. In the time it took to go to the bathroom and come back it had finished. All images were still downloaded into the files folder. </li></ul><h4>Final Thoughts</h4><p>Fandom history is so important. With the state of crushing culture pushing us to further and darker corners away from each other, lost media is a heart breaking side effect of fractured communities. If you love someones posts, save them! You never know if one day it'll simply be gone. If you like looking back at your old time capsules, backup your activities! By keeping the memories of our resistance alive, we can keep going on.</p><p><a href="https://aethy.com/tags/BeebzBlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeebzBlog</span></a> <a href="https://aethy.com/tags/aethy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aethy</span></a> <a href="https://aethy.com/tags/aethyrefugee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aethyrefugee</span></a> <a href="https://aethy.com/tags/aethyexodus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aethyexodus</span></a> <a href="https://aethy.com/tags/strikethrough" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strikethrough</span></a> <a href="https://aethy.com/tags/fandom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fandom</span></a> <a href="https://aethy.com/tags/fandomhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fandomhistory</span></a> <a href="https://aethy.com/tags/archivingguide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archivingguide</span></a> <a href="https://aethy.com/tags/datahoarder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>datahoarder</span></a></p>
