Perhaps a work-around would be to have a landing page or redirector that when accessed by a bot just talks about how wonderful Twitter is but when a human accesses it you get redirected to a particular Mastodon instance. Is that doable in code? I know how to do this in Nginx and HAProxy ACL's. Do the Twitter crawlers use HTTP/2.0 yet? Google and assorted gaming/chat platform crawlers are still limited to HTTP/1.1.
