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
@bontchev @adamshostack My favorite example: programmers are taught to use prepared statements, so at first it seems their app doesn't have any SQLi's. Until they add a feature where the user controls result set ordering: you can't use bound variables for field names, so there's a vuln 90% of the time (IME, with wildly different dev teams).
@pancake That's terrible and unfortunately far from unique. Sorry for your mom :(
@LukaszOlejnik they are already using it in Hungary (elections next April), I can collect some articles if interested. But I think you are overestimating the sophistication: we just see the dumbest made up lies, not any form of political argument.
I'm looking for a graphics person to turn a portrait into a single color vector image (and possibly a few other tweaks) for later open publication.
DM me if you are interested!
