This is infuriating: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1569388
We need a new strategy to ensure that the evidence we share never disappear. I suggest we create a GiT repository for pizzagate.
What is GiT? GiT is a decentralized open source version control system. You can add as many files as you want in your GiT "repository". Any change to the files in the repository is kept. Nothing is ever destroyed unless you go out of your way to destroy it. Even if something gets removed from the repository, the history of the original file is kept.
Why would it help us? Thanks to its decentralized nature, all users can have their own up to date copy of the "main" repository. This means that if the main repository is taken down, the data is not lost.
How could we use it?
- archive.is allow us to download a zip archive of any page we save (see this comment https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1569388/7648430))
- You should continue saving to archive.is.
- Then you download the zip file
- Then you put the zip file in your local pizzagate repository
- And you "push" (this is a GiT term) your changes to the main remote repository.
- A group of tech saavy people should be in charge of the main repository. (to moderate it and to keep the content well organized)
Of course we would need a nicely wrtiten tutorial to help non techy users to understand how to use GiT properly.
Your thoughts?

This is another reason why I built citizeninvestigators.org evidence is being censored everywhere, and we have already lost so much information in the last couple of months. The site archives information people post by tags so that anyone can go back and find information related to any topic that's been discussed quickly and easily. Check it out if you haven't seen it yet.

The sandyhookjusticereport.com no longer exists due to threats made to wolfgang halbigs family. If your site is taken down, where goes the data?

I never heard of that site or heard about threats made to them, when did that happen? I backup the entire database multiple times a day. If the site gets taken down, the data won't be lost. The only instance where data will be lost is if users post it as a link via a third party site (like archive.is) and it is then taken from the 3rd party. So users will need to make sure they are uploading the content to the site, and not just linking to it externally. Other than that, we will also need to rely on everyone making backups of their information externally/locally.

That's good to know and the Sandy Hook website probably came down about 6 or 8 months ago Wolfgang has done phenomenal work Freedom of Information Act hearings many earrings they're all on video they're all documented the whole thing was a f****** joke was a total setup and he's basically had enough of dealing with the state and local police and Department of Homeland Security is just a shitshow so anyways I'm just hoping that if we set up something new here that whatever is going on is safely archive somewhere because all it takes is for a few more phone calls to be made from very scary people and I mean I know if my own family was being threatened it would probably take down the website too
