Looks like the Sci-Hub .se domain finally got taken down. The interesting part is that the scientific paper access community has already adapted—alternative mirrors and access points keep emerging, which is kind of the whole point. It's a practical reminder of why decentralized infrastructure and resilient systems matter so much in Web3. When centralized gateways get blocked, the real test is whether the community can maintain access through distributed alternatives. Pretty relevant to broader conversations about information freedom and network resilience.

It's really no big deal that Sci-Hub is blocked; water flows to the lowest point.

What if the domain name is blocked? Mirror sites have been everywhere for a long time. This is true resistance to censorship.

Block one, and another one appears—that's the meaning of decentralization.
