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

@light Criminals can be stripped of voting rights around here, but doesn't really change the equation as these people are a tiny minority of the voting population.

"Morality" is difficult: e.g. is it moral to vote if you don't have the slightest idea of rules/stakes/etc?

@brewsterkahle "and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to *inform their discretion by education*.”

Maybe you can point me to the right direction about this: today we see pretty clearly how un/mis/disinformed masses can ruin democracies, yet I see very little push for basing voting rights on education/knowledge. Why is that? (I know the "literacy tests" in the US were badly abused but this doesn't mean that fair systems are impossible)

I don't expect a full explanation, would be happy with some pointers.
