Log:
  net-im/mastodon: Mark broken and deprecated and set expiration date
  
  File bankruptcy with net-im/mastodon.  After the www/node upgrade to 10, it
  broke again.  In general, the return to effort ratio trying to contort
  these node modules and ruby gems in to a port is too low (for me).  I will
  leave the port here for about a month in case anyone else would like to
  give it a go.
  
  For those who want to run a FreeBSD-based instance on the "fediverse", it
  is probably easier to simply follow Mastodon's installation guide.
  Alternatively, I have heard good things about Pleroma [1], so you may want
  to give it a try.
