whats the story with Yahoo groups?
Aug 7, 2020
yahoo sent short notice that they were deleting all their groups data, and didn’t make good tools for downloading it beforehand. it will all be deleted on december 14th.
What are the tools to help the archivers get it?
there is a tool to answer captures to join public groups, and then give that account to the archvie team. download it here.
how can I archive myself?
This python script can archive groups. I guess you need to join them for it to work well.. I spun up an ec2 instance to try and save a few groups from communities I would have been interested in back in the 2000s.
