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
@joepie91 - You're still assuming you can know about the scraping in the first place
- Money doesn't stink
@joepie91 Do you really think people who want to e.g. earn money with this give a flying fart if they are excluded from a community (which they weren't part of in the first place)?
@joepie91 Based on arguments I had over here people definitely believe that technical measures at the publishing platform (such as limiting search) can affect this. Also, what is the point of being outraged about the single person who is open about his scraping while I guarantee you a dozen other orgs do the same rn just don't talk about it?
What I don't get about the post-election Twitter exodus is that for the masses (ofc not you, dear reader!) somehow it was OK to create content (and thus attract ad money) there, while *after* the owners friend got elected it's suddenly not?
@tmr232 Are the slides available somewhere?
Why do BloodHound CE passwords expire?! 🤦
