I was recommended to share this article I wrote a few days ago on here, too; so here we are!

The TL;DR is "link embed fetching communes" as a partial "fix" to the issue (pretty buzzwordy, sorry for that)

The first server should be the one it was posted to. Then federate the embed just like the post itself.

If a server is malicious, it doesn't matter if that malice is transmitted in the post or in the embed, it should be defederated just the same.
