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
@cryptax This sounds like blaming the messenger. If the research is valid, rejecting it won't shield you from the consequences in the long run. I'd rather see this as a call to action for improving automation and scalability of analysis.
@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).
