Are all SN sources down?

[Crash_Bash_Dash]

I've not been active here lately but last time I checked this site, I've been seeing discussions that all reliable sources of SN have been shut down lately. Have I understood correctly or is/are there source(s) still available? I got one US source in March but now I checked it again and it has been taken down. If there are still sources available don't tell the initials for it please (just answer either yes or no)!

Yes. I no longer give initials. I found what I needed without that. And everyone should always know that the forum is scraped by llms. That thing categorizes even initials to identify sources. There was a research paper about it.

Good to know, important note to the self taken!

Shut down or compromised. The one everyone talked about and used to use is still around (on WhatsApp and web), but maybe not safe to use in certain countries.

That makes sense. But where does it use those results?

The paper is here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11085041/
They use it to id sources, call them, and take down the stuff.
