Now that 12ft.io is down, are there any good alternatives to archive.ph for viewing paywalled articles?

Genuine question, are Russian sites any worse or better than anywhere else these days?

You make a fair point; maybe I’ve become too cynical, but probably not. Seems like everything everywhere is enshittified all at once lately.

My experience with Russian sourced software is to treat it as low trust, like I do everywhere else, until proved otherwise. An example is gitflic.ru. I'm cautious about it but can see a number of developers moved there after being thrown of MS's Github so a very legitimate reason to use it. Is potential Russian surveillance any worse than the government of the country in which you live? Probably not.

I think your right that yes it does seem like a coordinated crack down at the moment. Almost like round 2.
