mastodon OAuth

Python Social Auth (PSA) does NOT yet provide authentication method for mastodon. We subclass the BaseOAuth2 from social_core and put necessary attributes on it so that MastodonOAuth2 becomes our backend for mastodon authentication.

class lino_xl.lib.mastodon.MastodonOAuth2

The backend for mastodon OAuth authentication methods.

The original idea was to have API methods communicating with mastodon app on designed action call(s), publishing the results of some bulk action on mastodon, so that, the users may get a notification on mastodon. We decided to abandon this idea.
