It really doesn't matter who's right and who's wrong in this situation. The point is that no matter what, the moderation policies of various Mastodon servers are their own business. I wanted to be able to allow toots from individuals to be embedded on DU, just as we allow tweets from individuals to be embedded. The moderation policies of the servers that those toots are posted on seems to be somewhat beside the point.

But at the end of the day, it's NOT beside the point -- if me allowing toot embedding from a handful of Mastodon servers is going to cause unnecessary friction on DU, then I think we might have to remove the embedding feature again.
