I don't know that they manage the redirected lists, or if they just have defaults that they don't update. I disabled every redirect except for Twitter, and I only have xcancle.com as an option for redirection. I've had a pretty shit experience with many of the other services and their privacy front ends. If I find an instance that works for a site I feel the need to redirect, I'll manually curate that services list. So far, xcancel is the only one I've gotten value out of. The twitter timeline of a profile is not chronological, and on xcancel it is. You can't view additional replies at times on single threads, but you can on xcancel. Most other services are more aggressive with VPN'd or guest viewing. Instagram will not load if you're on a known VPN for example. Reddit will also block you if you're on a VPN.
