   There's something I've been wanting to talk about for awhile.

   Quote posts, limiting of quote posts, and how those features might be added to core AP.

   As it is now, the way Threads does quote posting is when a person adds a link to another Threads post, it automatically turns into a "quote post".

   They also have the option to limit posts from being quoted, which in turn completely stops anyone on Threads linking to that post.

   To me, that is wild, but I can see it making sense on a closed platform.

   However, given the way Fediverse works and a ton of people have their own instance/website, I think it would be absolutely asinine to attempt to stop someone from simply posting a link to another post.

   Links have been part of the internet for awhile now and there's no other platform that stops people from using links, AFAIK.

   So, to those working on AP, please consider another route for quote posts because if I cannot link to something on my own website, I'll be pretty livid honestly.

   @feditips

   FYI
   When I edit a Toot* (something I try to avoid), I asterisk and note the edit at the end of the post.

   To the extent that editing posts is controversial (people responded to the original post & not necessarily the edited post), I think this adds a bit of integrity.

   just sayin...

   *edit: changed 'post' to 'Toot'
