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
@chmod644 We should definitely come up with a catchy name!
@schrotthaufen SmartScreen windows got increasingly hard to unblock over time "and for a while, it was good". Then I went to a client where the sysadmin unblocked the freshly downloaded executable from the properties window so fast I had to ask him to show me once more what he just did because I couldn't follow.
Life finds a way.

@Viss As I see with the rise of smart phones companies successfully convinced users that files and directories are low level magic they are not supposed to know or care about. From this point doing stuff with files in a file manager is sorcery indistinguishable from copying 5 pages of sorcery into the sorcery manager. Confirmation windows never stopped any attacks because users click Yes faster than the blink of an eye.
In essence users are expected to make critical decisions about a system that is hidden from them in every other aspect of working with computers.
