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

@wdormann What *is* their job though? Incentives are pervese and blurring risk is in many cases the most cost-effective for everyone. If shits hit the fan, they can blame $country or AI (or both).

Somewhat related: who would've predicted that ClickFix will become an actual ItW vector that needs to be mitigated?!

An interesting metric of any political system is the distribution of professions of people in power.

For years it seemed that only unemployed lawyers and career buttlickers can become popular politicians around here.

Now we have a traffic engineer as a minister of transportation who knows the dates to the day when railway sections were closed down and calls engines by their nicknames.

And people love him! This gives me some hope.

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

I find it by randomly typing 2 characters after "annas-archive."

We are not the same. (although you've probably visited way less click farms)

@gabrielesvelto @jcoglan They don't need to inject randomness, it's a more fundamental feature:
