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.

#Passwordless registration flows are great until your not very computer savvy neighbor sign themselves up for a service with monthly charges and no one has a clue about how to cancel the shit because we don't even know the account ID, we only see the charges on the bank account...
@tinker I've been eyeing a local Repair Cafe but I found their system pretty inefficient: people bring in their stuff, and basically have to line up for the pros if they can fix their thing in particular. Are there some best practices (e.g. collecting batches that a pro can fix when they are available in bulk) documented that I can refer them to?
@sawaba is that really The Issue with this statement? :D
If feel like you are good at something, don't forget that statistically there is a 6 years old Chinese model that is better than you.

@cR0w @haroonmeer Also, gotta admit that bugs/exploits are lots of fun...
Edit: Writing this on a Sat night, looking at a debugger, desperately trying to figure out a ~2 piece part of a 1000x1000 puzzle
@haroonmeer Yet very few recognized that by definition playing bug whack-a-mole is not an effective strategy against said 0days...
