Any user scripts that automatically redirect to a working instance?

Awesome. Let's all start using this on HN so we end up with a bunch of broken links in a few years

They would become links with only a wrong domain, so I am not very worried about that personally.

We could stop thinking of them as walled gardens we're trying to get into and start thinking of them as quarantines for the Eternal September population.

> quarantines for the Eternal September population

Hacker News actually has a way to do this quarantine, a version that only counts votes from accounts created before 2008: https://news.ycombinator.com/classic. About a decade after Eternal September started, but not bad.

FWiW as an aside, it also appears to also count votes from December 2008 accounts (as just tested using this 2008-12-26 account).

So that's at least strictly before 2009.
