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.

@airwhale My gut tells me most of these are in fact stand-ins for large adtech companies like Meta and Google.

@swapgs Not sure I get your point. In my case I simply connect to a VM, a server binary is downloaded there automatically to which the IDE on my machine can connect over SSH.
@airwhale Better not imagine what would happen if one of those bottles ended up at ISS!
Since I read the JPL coding manual I'm always very considerate before introducing an infinite loop.
Then I usually decide that "it's fine, this is not a spaceship" and forget to implement the exit path.
