No pretty sure it was an actual pdf database. I think there are mirrors that allow you to access all of Alexandra’s wonderful work. But nothing new is being added due to legal injunctions.
Such a shame. Alexandra has added more to scientific advancement than most scientists themselves. Removing the barriers to shared scientific data is one of the greatest piracy feats ever accomplished.
It’s not like sci-hub hosted anything, AFAIK. Didn’t it just circumvent paywalls?
If I’m right (and fucking Elsevier & co. didn’t patch the security holes) it should still work, but the sci-hub proxy sites are most likely defunct.
As those in the know can probably tell, I didn’t keep up with the whole takedown, but I do miss that easy access to research articles.

Oh man, what a headache to maintain! If that’s the case I understand why the resource deprecated after 2020.
Agreed on the project’s impact and importance! Raising a small altar to Alexandra Elbakyan right here.
