infosex.exchange <3

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

A major challenge of alternative #search engines seems to be that they have to be *reliable* in the sense that they should work, always.

Web search is an essential tool and if it's not available or quality noticeably degrades (hard to monitor!), that's a major headache for users.

One can argue that you can temporarily go to a different engine, but you have a preferred engine for good reasons (e.g. customizations, UI, etc.). When you have a car you like and used to you probably will struggle even with a very good replacement you got while yours is at the shop.

@mntmn Connecting Good Software with the desire to reduce human suffering is something I've failed to put into words. This is really important, thanks!
