Implementation Notes?

I don't know enough about Mastodon's API, but I presume there are also multi-user API access levels? I think for our current set of hypothetical Mastodon enabled furniture we can stick with single-user?

• Jacky Alcine has some thoughts on implementation here: https://discord.com/channels/704552329898360902/1083863868561969192/1084100299632943195

When you refer to "multi-user API access", do you mean like a way to do something for multiple users using one access token? I don't think Mastodon provides this from their API (all are listed at https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/

We'd probably have to store info per-user, per-instance.

Excellent. I can imagine a universe where a single MastodonUtility stores many access keys; but for now one should be all we need.
