Mastodon Integration As A Function

First post in almost two years and what is it about? Refactoring my mastodon comment system yet again, this time turning it into a Digital Ocean Function. I know, I know, wasn't it essentially a function with AWS Lambda originally? Yes, it was, but I converted it to ECS because of the NAT and elastic IP requirement.

That limitation, it turns out, does not apply to DO Functions. They have public internet access out of the box at no extra cost. So it's more economical than either my AWS Lambda or AWS ECS approaches.
