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.

@AAKL Still nothing compared to the drunk guy who recently stole a Cessna and flew straight into the no-flight zone of the nearby nuclear reactor so they had to alert fighter jets

Populists tend to argue that all outlets are "loyal" to someone, nobody is really independent.

I just read that the new gov fired the gen manager of Mandiner, one of the many propaganda papers of the prev system + revenue from state is cut.

Well, Mandiner started out as a (pretty good, IMO) right-wing political blog, which was regularly promoted on front page of Index - still the largest, back then an independent, left-leaned outlet. By promotion I mean Index selected Mandiners articles to counterpoint the main articles, for free. I have some numbers and this meant a *lot* of visitors for Mandiner!

Mandiner and Index were both consumed by Orban's propraganda, and this is how we got to present time.

So much for that populist BS.
