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
@acsawdey Just saw your profile, would be really curios how this works on IBMs BE platforms!
@acsawdey I haven't tried it but that seems reasonable (also, protobuf works in a similar fashion iirc)
"The Cap’n Proto encoding is appropriate both as a data interchange format and an in-memory representation, so once your structure is built, you can simply write the bytes straight out to disk!"
https://capnproto.org/1) Why didn't I know about this??
2) Why did I have to learn about this because of an article about the authors gamer/geek mansion?
Decided to take some heavy stuff from A to B after lunch as a little exercise.
Now my muscles are so tense I can barely use vim.
@abrasive How about grouping people in Lists?
@Edent "I can understand why .bid and .loan are popular with scammers. But why .mobi?!" -> because the avg user has 0 clue about what a domain name is, what its parts are and what they signify. Not to mention URLs...
"What can be done?" -> So far I could only think of enforcing a strict domain allow list for users (at the endpoint/browser) who don't know better.
