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
@nixCraft I'm on this picture and don't like it
@osxreverser I bet most ppl around here don't know who the guy is in the first place. Local politics are so polarized the visit won't change a thing anyway.
@wdormann similar experience when using itunes for the first and the last time: importing a disk is nowhere to be found in the menu. The only way to do that is drag&drop. Like, how am I supposed to figure that out?
@jdonoghue Exactly, see my other replies in the thread!
@troed This may be it, thanks! Still, a shortsighted stance a and a very badly phrased sentence.
@twomikecharlie OK this sounds plausible, but I find it hard to come to this conclusion (or any) from the original sentence. Esp. because the "only sane way to stay safe" part is simply false (see supply chain issues, breaking changes, etc.).
