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.

@fj You mean the Rule of Law?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_lawIt's so weird to see people (esp. in the US) acting as if humanity didn't have hundreds or even thousands of years of experience about how governance should (not) work.
@algernon Glad you found it useful! Please post updates about how things are going!
@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?
