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
Is there a list of ways to cut the very connection you are using to manage a server?

You find Anna's Archive via a search engine

We are not the same. (although you've probably visited way less click farms)
@VirusBulletin Whoever decided to use shades of $color for chart segments should be fired on the spot.
@gsuberland Tampermonkey scripts escaping their containment sounds like a technological breakthrough, prepare a press release!
One more thought on the OAI vs HF thing:
If you are wondering how serious network isolation is at these companies, try to install an arbitrary subset of their tech stack without Internet access. Good, now try to install updates!
@cR0w "at the cost of research velocity while the vulnerabilities are patched."
I've spent enough time in enterprise settings to recognize that this translates to "security is a cost center and we spend as little on it as we legally can". I do love how they manage to also blame due diligence as a cause of not whacking more moles!
