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

@realmurphy @codinghorror @jwz @bovaz @mjg59 The avg internet user relies on social media for news curation, with all the known consequences. I still hold that RSS is good enough, consumerism winning over DIY (let's call it that...) is rooted much deeper than a protocol spec.

@codinghorror @bovaz @mjg59 @jwz Was it really RSS, or the applications built around it? IIRC Google Reader was pretty popular during it's time, until vendors started to push ppl away from syndication (incl. killing Reader) in general.
