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.

It's not exactly about bullying, but it had a therapeutic effect to look up the MS Teams product team on LinkedIn so I could assign faces to the decisions causing massive negative externalities...

"The Wall Street Journal reported that a flight attendant accidentally hit a switch on the pilot's seat, which pushed the pilot into the controls, forcing down the plane's nose."

This is seriously some Airplane! (the movie) level shit...

@finestructure How would you use malicious compliance to undermine "Thou shalt not kill"?

@finestructure Isn't (part of) the point of malicious compliance to demonstrate that rules are stupid?

@joxean reminded me of genius/crazy Hungarian musicians and luckily I stumbled upon this infosec-adjacent track by Félix Lajkó to share:

@joxean "Liszt" and "easy" in the same sentence is an oxymoron.
