You are probably looking for the infosec.exchange Mastodon instance

This host is mostly for my random stuff, and in little part acts like a well-intentioned placeholder for the typosquatted domain.

Discoverability and Archiving

Currently I'm using this host for saving the items from my own feeds to the Wayback Machine and provide in-links for search engines. I hate that I have to do this, but the non-sense ideology of Mastodon pretty much ruined the search feature for Fediverse as a whole, and this wasn't changed by the fact that they owned their mistake and implemented search eventually.

Yes, I (or anyone else) could do similar things with other peoples published feeds, regardless of the tantrum. No, you can't defederate this, because the process doesn't rely on an instance.

Gluttony Section for Search Engines

@mariyadelano @rmd1023 @brouhaha @hacks4pancakes this is a great article, pointing out that if someone charges you by their performance while they are also responsible for measuring their own performance, there is a slight chance of fraud

@mkj maybe, but having a huge "we are cloudflare, we are breaking your app" message displayed to end users by default is a significant difference

Cloudflare down is another teachable moment to think about your eggs and your baskets.

Friendly advice for crisis communication:

"Our systems have been under attack for T days" doesn't mean that your system withstood the attack for that long. Hackers don't work with sledgehammers.

It means that you saw the attack but were unable to act on it for T days.
