and don't think they won't start blocking mentions of Mastodon. unless, they won't since Mastodon is just known for being a Twitter alternative.

Make Mastodon known for replacing any and all corporate social media. That'l get em.

Back when I was on Twitter (a couple of years ago now), all links to Mastodon were explicitly marked as "unsafe", and posts containing such links were demoted. So it's apparently kind of normal for these social media companies to attempt to choke new competition as early as possible.
