Description
Since this was originally implemented, Mastodon has removed OAuth Resource Owner Password Credentials, which means our way of obtaining an API token is no longer viable. So all Mastodon-related tests that require the use of the API (i.e. all non-Webfinger tests) fail.
We need to find a different automatable avenue and implement that.

Research direction
Start by locating the Mastodon-related tests that obtain an API token and separate them from the Webfinger tests. Reproduce the failure, then determine an automatable token path that works with current Mastodon behavior; done means all non-Webfinger Mastodon API tests pass without the removed password-grant flow.
