Comment (by peterwilsoncc):
You're right, there are higher security concerns with oEmbed providers
than with including social networks in the block editor and predefined
social menus within default themes.
My primary concern forming a policy for Mastodon are about reducing the
burden of support by adding and removing servers in each release. The sort
of questions I'd ask are:
* How long has the server been active for?
* How many users does the server have, what percentage are active?
* How many toots are sent on a daily basis?
A most-popular servers list is a good start, thank you, but I thinking
firming up some criteria is an important initial step as long term
contributors are likely to continue maintaining the list.
For context, based on the numbers I found online, Twitter was added as an
oembed provider once it passed 100M users. The bar can be lower for social
network links, but whether than be 1%, 10% or whatever needs to be
decided.
Are you willing to assist with starting a discussion on
make.wordpress.org/core -- it's the best spot to form policy such as this?
I know I sound negative, I do support mastodon and like the idea of it a
lot! I'm mainly trying to be practical as it increases in popularity.
