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.

@algernon I'm wondering if it'd be more effective (in terms of impact/service cost) to serve finite trees that update periodically, like a real web site? I guess this way you could make the bot come back (poison it for a longer time) and constrain the expected bandwidth per visit?

@nuintari This is not only true for Fortinet. What we can see here is a serious market failure that's been building up for a long while and probably won't go away anytime soon.

@freddy I'm doing a pet project now primarily for learning, and doing things "the rusty way" proved to be enlightening so far. If I wanted to get shit done I would've just done it in Python and be done with it 2 hours ago :D
