This is unsettling... people are archiving our profiles and comments

I was first going to say "No big deal" as the Archive.org tool is almost entirely automated. However, when I realized this was indexing individual /u/ snapshots for profiles? This shifted quite a bit.
This normally does NOT happen outside of very large Social Media profiles, and certainly not this frequently.
I compared a number of other "mainstream" platforms... individual profiles are normally indexed a few times per year.
This is very odd.
Thanks for this callout. I just looked at my settings and my option for indexing was set to ON. This might not stop the WBM site from archiving, but hopefully some other ones it will.
In the grand scheme of online surveillance/OPSEC, this is small potatoes lol.. I want my glowie agent to at least put forth some effort into profiling me lmao.
Even little ol' me has 263 saves, seeming from right when I joined in Jan 2021. Would DS agents be using Wayback machine, though? Wouldn't they have their own servers for saving this and not have to rely on a non-profit .org?
I joined officially around then and I have 530 saves. Some days show larger circles which I assume means multiple people archived?
Yes it does mean more people archived.
Yep, the larger the circle, the more people saved it.
I have looked at my large circles & can't figure out why so many would choose some specific days to archive. Interesting to say the least.
It means multiple saves on that day. Could be one person or bot saving repeatedly, or multiple people and/or bots. No way for us to know.
It seems everyone here has saves of some sort. I've got 55 all to myself.
