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
@shine @filippo Any society can invent their crazy rules and people who want to take part will obey or be punished. The question is about whether the rules invented here make sense: are they self-contradicting, do they only punish good-faith behavior while failing to address bad-faith use.
@tklengyel yeah I wasn't sure but seen no ads so far
@filippo @mmu_man By principle I mean having an open, distributed network where everyone is welcome, except when some peer is unwanted for $reason, in which case everyone should block (see the Fedi Pact) and those who don't are $badpeople.
@filippo "If a company did it we would call it false sense of security." - It's been pretty wild to see people (at
infosec.exchange of all places) arguing against scrapers/search while simultaneously celebrating that every post is available via RSS...
