Redirecting automatically
It is possible to redirect to these sites automatically. To do that, you can use the libredirect extension, or the Redirector extension. The Redirector extension can accept rules for other sites (i.e. redirect 4chan.org/g/ to 4chan.org/g/catalog).
To do
- add simple wojak/pepe infographic about how frontends work
- add list of common hosts from frontend instances, right now only PussTheCat is credited.
- add section about different web corpos hostility to frontends, facebook/meta etc.
