Shit is trash and every redirect points to broken instances or instanced that have been limited or something

I only use it to redirect to xcancel.com. As long as you have viable instances to redirect to, then it works fine.

Do the ppl making it not manage the redirected-to instance regularly? Should i babysit the extension to get actual value atm?

Id rather not have the shipped iteration just be malfunctioning out of box

Whether instances work is something that changes too frequently to make the software responsible for closely tracking that information. If you update them when something is broken, you will end up with a decent setup.

Yea i guess your right, i was just angry cus its a great concept and i wouldve liked it to 'just werk' all while knowing things are hardly ever that easy😅

Would be nice. I think the solution is for proxies to function as federated caches, but that would take a Herculean effort.
