Is there a competent redirect/repost service for X posts?

People have no problem posting links to paywalls, there's just always someone kind enough to come along and post an archive.org link.

I still use nitter.poast.org for threads and it has been fine.

I still use nitter.poast.org for threads and search. It works. For brief period it was presenting a homegrown CAPTCHA but not anymore.

Having many instances was great; however even when there were many to choose from, in practice I only chose to use one, whichever one worked the most consistently.
