Theory:
1) Medium has SESTA/FOSTA concerns.
2) Medium constructs a broad, but also shallow/naive, search for warning terms.
3) Since darkweb pornographers accept cryptocurrencies, all crypto-related terms are included in the search.
4) One of those terms is "decentralized," which is also a property of Mastodon.
5) Mastodon gets auto-banned.
