You’re an idiot. Also a techy linux weirdo, so I’m not surprised. Did you know other people have hobbies that do not involve Linux, and would like to be able to discuss them without someone like you bending themselves into a pretzel over how the Fediverse has no room for filthy casuals who don’t know what FOSS stands for. Gatekeep harder! This will surely save the fediverse from normies.
Physical media also fades over time, unfortunately. The most realistic solution is unironically digital piracy; “keep circulating the tapes” can keep digital media alive indefinitely. It’s not enough for the publisher to keep putting out copies, bootlegs are preservation, too.
