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
@mttaggart do other browser have similar business models? I mean if you are in adtech you will use different terms because you do want to collect and use data.
RIP Michelle Trachtenberg, thanks for all the laughs :(
@mttaggart @Viss Sure, these are just my personal priorities that I try not to confuse with universal axioms :)
@mttaggart @Viss Yeah that too, although I don't find that feature as significant as search.
@Viss Let me add that the same behavior effectively made discussing implementation options for search - a killer feature for many use-cases - a taboo. As a result Fedi still doesn't have a comparable feature, while Bsky has this since day one (monolithic arch helps them of course).
I spent the afternoon reading
OSR.com and now I hear it in old Obi-Wan Kenobi's voice in my head
