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.

@troed Keep in mind that - as described in The Mythical Man-Month - suddenly throwing human resources to a project doesn't necessarily help to reach its milestones.
@schrotthaufen Kids these days won't know how it is to move your friends 3rd floor apartment without an elevator, half-drunk on a narrow staircase. Sad!
@jonny @danluu These are unfathomably large numbers so to get a grip I looked up Shell's yearly profits (x*10^10 USD where 0<x<4), and with a wild estimate it'd take ~50 years for them to pay off this kind of money (while not investing in anything else)
