Comment (by triumvirate):

 Thanks for submitting this, @mediaformat ! Long live the Mastodon
 federation.

 Wow, this is ''something else''. I learned/ am learning quite a bit just
 attempting to parse all of this.

 > WordPress would need to review the embed JavaScript for each instance to
 ensure that nasty-hackers dot social hasn't modified the code from the
 default.

 Thinking perhaps too outside the box here, could WordPress itself host
 `embed.js`, and substitute its own version whenever it detects a Mastodon
 one attempting to be used?

 However, on second thought, as @johnbillion mentions
 > The script tag isn't and therefore gets stripped but it doesn't appear
 to matter because it's only there to adjust the height of the contents of
 the iframe and doesn't affect the main styling.

 It seems that would be insufficient as this script isn't actually
 necessary, anyway?

 But maybe the principle still applies? Self-host whatever js/ css Mastodon
 sites are to inject?
