Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 My inclination is to drop automatic Mastodon support and make it manual.

 Due to the decentralized nature of the network, keeping up with domains to
 include will become a never ending battle.

 As servers come online and drop offline, the maintenance burden will be
 substantial so WordPress would need to update the list of domains with
 every release. There would also need to be a policy document of wehn to
 support a domain, similar to the policy for
