So an interesting change is coming to Mastodon embeds.
Previously, the embed code consisted of an iframe, going forward, this is being switched to a blockquote.
In either case, the original text of the post is not included and is rather added after the main page the embed is on is loaded.

Okay, looking at the new embed code more closely, this is...something else.
For comparison, the previous (and on most Mastodon servers, the current) version looked like this.
@[email protected] it seems presumptive to my old webdev mind to assume all places that allow embeds will allow external js.
Also, seriously, do you expect me to backdoor my own site??
