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
@yassie_j At IBM early AS/400 development was guised as a punch card sorter (iirc) because mgmnt didn't want to finance another computer project (aside of mainframe) and "it is easier to apologise than to get permission"
@nflnfl Honestly I don't know the difference, seemed like a good translation...
@suzannealdrich @kaoudis Given the faculty I see very little chance of any such activity in the first place, but maybe things have changed since my time...
I do hope the arch-enemy economics uni will at least poetize some fun songs about the whole incident.
@kaoudis Literally no one knows what the organizers were thinking. Oh and they were worried about sex in general which makes the decision even weirder. They were confronted about this too, without any result.
@peterbutler @esther You are right, and in this particular case it is a non-profit thing. But that's beside the point, as their business model doesn't really affect my situation (I will donate to them just as I would pay for a for-profit service).
My university faculty made the news by banning condoms in this years freshman camp (don't ask...).
Now a midwife offered discount for anyone getting pregnant there.
I'm not sure if she is aware of the ratio of compatible reproductive organs in the Elecrical Engineering and Informatics faculty tho...
@joepie91 @esther We had a magazine (free, as in paid for by the ads btw) like this, then a website. FB killed both ofc...
