This is related to the problem that I have with these alternative frontends.
Instances might go down and suddenly all the links that you shared around are now dead.

Which is why I am extremely grateful to the developer and maintainer of Farside.link
It's a thing that has a list of frontend instances and redirects to one of them.
So links stay alive even if specific frontend instance goes down.
But it still doesn't fully solve this problem.
What if farside.link goes down? making a redirect between different Farside intances (lol I am not aware of any other instances, just developer's one) just moves the issue one layer up.
Solution here is most likely something decentralized. Not sure if blockchain or not, but probably blockchain. Something that will keep the top-level redirecting service always working.
Is it some Ethereum smart contract? Is it something on IPFS? I don't know. Someone smarter than me will have to figure this out.
