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
When giving
#infosec advice it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows about Uniform resource Locators and the Domain Name System.
And Public Key Infrastructure of course.

I just dug through a 9MB JSON to find a direct message I sent here, only to find the corresponding object link to be non-existent. Fortunately I had an accurate timestamp, that helped me dig up the message on the UI after about 5 minutes of constant scrolling.
All this because some genius thought that preventing me from searching my own stuff will prevent online harassment.
