I can’t know how WordPress will deal with the coming pressures of overreaching government. They have been a safe haven, perhaps a bastion, defending my free speech for the ten years that I have been affiliated with them. I’ve deeply appreciated that. We are concerned that the TheFreeRangeNaturist.org may be taken down within a few months. Perhaps on “day one.”
The Project 2025 as read, sets back free dialog and so civil social change. It is imposition from a minority upon approximately 70% plus of the rest of us. It promises harassment, legal entanglements and fines.
There has been an unwarranted callus attack on our freedom of expression. Many corporate owners of social media and several search engines have been censoring the internet content already. This would be illegal for the government to do, like it denying free speech in a public park. Our public spaces on the internet however, are now by proxy and for profit, able to act like government. They provide the public spaces and are not regulated like a people’s democratic government, or like a government in our interests.
The issue here is that often, mere nudity has been classified as porn, unsuitable, deemed a nasty thing. For providers that flow over international borders, the lowest denominator is profitable, and so unfree countries have been placated at the expense of American freedoms. The backward religious countries in effect, dictate our American community standards. Wholesome, harmless, simple nudity is wrongly classified with porn. This site, because it contains nude images, is treated the same as sex by many of these entities. Unjustly, many nude sites have been taken down and censored during recent years.
Even the website of the respected “The Naturist Society Foundation,” an institution that has been defending our rights more than 45 years is now hidden under an adult content barrier on search engines.
The new administration is implementing the Project 2025. I’ve read much of the 900 pages. It contains several plans for anti-pornography objectives, even fines for providers. This minority, I see as akin to an American Taliban, which plans to impose restrictions on a majority of Americans and rolling back the freedoms that I personally have defended during my lifetime. I don’t know which internet entities will cave to the pressures.
I lived the 1950’s and 60’s. It was oppressive and dangerous to be different during that time. Society was run with fear. That is why there was social revolution and so much collision as the era ended. There was a lack of personal freedom caused by the same entities and personalities that seek to again rule our lives. We are not far from this minority choking freedoms again.
In consideration of these facts, I would expect our freedoms to not be defended by most internet corporate tycoons, unless there is a profit to it. The corporate objective by law is to make profit for the shareholders and not bound by moral conscience. Because this is the past, it is a likely future.
I Ask for Some Help:
I’ve got over 400 full days of work here, more than a year of my time and effort devoted to this message. I’m looking for information to take steps to preserve my content for, in the least, my own personal memories. I’m not a computer tech.
If anyone knows how to store in this format someplace, or who to contact for such, please, guide us toward that goal, in the comments.
If necessary, we can converse email, or phone from there.
If taken down, perhaps alternatives will appear that will not silence us and I can find a way to once again speak freely about and demonstrate something very healthy for humanity.
I have done my best to not make this website political, just an agent of social change and to do something good for my fellow humanity. A well-funded Taliban-like organizational process has made this political.
Better news:
We intend to continue our output as normal, perhaps in hope, perhaps denial, or defiance. We have plenty of content set for future publication, both tales and informative ideas.
We may see effective resistance to the intended steamroller of oppression. I can’t know how things will ultimately unfold, or how WordPress will respond to all of this. I need help preparing for the worse, while hoping for the best.

After a preliminary look into this, it appears to be several good leads into a solution for me. BlogVault stands out.
I’m meeting a friend who does IT security in a few days. I’ll see what he may have, or his opinion of these solutions, “plural.”
Thank-you,

One needn’t be an ivy leaguer to have READ from the very beginning, in the fine print of all these dubious bait&switch interWeb platforms with their CONtrived dehumanizing algorithms & anonyMouse bots, that No User ( like a Guest in someone else’s home or on their boat ) has Constitutional Liberty & Rights — after ✅Agreeing to all those carefully crafty crafted online CONtracts — while using THEIR tech & giving THEM FREE Ownership of ALL Your Personal DATA for THEIR profit.

I certainly understand your concern. Too well, and too personally, given battles of my own of this nature. I don’t understand why it is so difficult to grasp that I prefer to be naked and it’s not about bothering anybody else. They are free to keep their heads as far in the sand as they may wish. Just leave me alone and let me be. No naturist activity of mine will ever harm you and I am quite fine if you don’t even hear about it, much less ever become aware in any way. Just leave me be.
ok, commiserating rant off (and I have my reasons, as you know), I don’t know how to do what you’re describing, but I think it can be done and if the reference already provided, or other feedback doesn’t get there, and if he’s willing to help, I am pretty sure the current webmaster of bareidaho (dot com) does know. Let me know if I can help intermediate.
(Hoping this doesn’t post twice, my phone was fighting me)

No, you have that the wrong way around, my friend. It is American puritanism that is censoring the internet and social media. Here in New Zealand, as well as the U.K, and much of Europe, we find it constantly frustrating that American platforms such as Facebook, Youtube, and others conflate nudity with sex, and censor our content.
American society seems unable to separate nudity from sexual activity. This is shown by the way these platforms combine the two in their “Community Standards” and “Terms of Service”. And from personal experience, whenever I receive “friend requests” or “follow requests” from people, I always check their profiles, interests and timelines for pornographic content. If they contain porn, almost without fail they are American!

I understand and share your concern. You should make multiple backup copies. Someone already shared a link on archiving a wordpress site. Let’s call that your backup copy #1. This suggestion is for your backup copy #2. It is a lot more work but preserves a copy of your posts on your computer or a backup HARD DISK drive. (1) Choose a backup HARD DISK drive for archival purposes not a SSD drive which are designed for active storage.
(2) One by one, open each of your posts. (3) Right click and select “save page as”. You will be prompted for name and location. For each page saved, you should see a corresponding htm file and a folder (with all of your photos). When done, click on any htm file and you should see your post, complete with photos, ads, whatever that on your web page at the time that you saved the web page.
If you migrate to another host website and you need to reconstruct your post, then open each htm file, copy and paste the text and photos into your new post. It is a lot of work but your back up copies are in your possession, can be read off-line on your computer, and will not disappear should a host website goes out of business or change their policy on nudity.

Yes, the search engine doesn’t censors simple nudity, not WordPress. They have put filters on organizational sites like venerable The Naturist Society Foundation, too.
