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
@nina_kali_nina @stevelord @kagihq @yvan What line do you draw for cheating? TBF I don't know how ranking to the sidebar works here, but given the complexity of the problem I'm fine with any "cheats" as long as I get the results relevant to my query - my problem with adtech engines was that they actively worked against me.
@nina_kali_nina @stevelord @kagihq @yvan Fair, but - aside of this being a single data point - IMO the power of Kagi (don't want to do a sales pitch maybe other have this too) is customization. For example verbatim search by default (for my user) helps a lot with my use cases, and I also find domain ranking especially useful for tailoring results.
As much as I despise Spotify's business model getting incredibly good music I'd have never known thrown to my stream constantly is mind-blowing!
