Seems like twitter might be blocking mastodon domains from a public list somewhere? Even a link to a very small (public) instance was blocked. A link to a single-user instance however, was not blocked.
Interestingly.. a link to that same (not blocked) single-user instance but with another (blocked) instance's domain in the path of the url was blocked.
Hmm.. What if.. twitter.com was listed as a mastodon server?
Given enough mastodon instances it should be possible to probe and elminiate until you've limited your search enough to find the right one. That's assuming they don't maintain their own private list, though
