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
@schrotthaufen Good news is that Average Joe is probably not interested in hacker blogs or similar "dual-use" content :)
@root The main problem for visibility is mobile. I want a solution where the users don't have to look at domain names at all: how will Aunt Judy know if
mybank.foo or
my-bank.bar is the right one, esp when even legit providers rely on crappy redirectors for adtech?
@schrotthaufen I like the uBlock idea! I wonder how hard it's to maintain the lists though...
I've been thinking a lot about securing online transactions for laypeople.
A major issue seems to be that URLs are 1) often not visible 2) not designed for laypeople, so many of us have no idea who they are communicating with.
I'm looking for a reliable browser extension that can block site access based on domain allow-lists, extensible by country.
Any recommendations?

@Viss I'd trade senseless bootlicking for genuine trolling at any moment :/
@Viss I seriously miss the hostility of the old Web: back then even Nobel-worthy research would get some adequate trolling (at least a "first") as top comment. What is this "i wISh i kNeW 1/100tH oF wHat avEraGe LLM useRz kNOw" BS??
An important revelation of the day:
The answer to the question "Has the whole world gone crazy?!" is:
Yes.
@airwhale I'm about half way through but...holy shit. I don't necessarily agree that second derivatives weren't considered previously, but I haven't seen the analogy to the subprime crisis (and it's extreme dangers) presented so bluntly.
@ChrisMayLA6
Sooo since I'm desperately trying to make an LLM export some methods via a shared library from a crate*, I'm basically making these companies loose more money! I'm the hero!**
* I'll post later about how Rust sucks at encapsulation
** Shit, it's a local LLM...
