   #QuotePosts are coming to #Mastodon. It is on the #RoadMap of #features to implement.

   Here is a #FeatureRequest to opt out of quote posts. Please vote:

   https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/25735

   Here is an interesting article about research on quote posts or #QuoteTweets

     No, do NOT vote for this issue. 👎
     
     We do not need another case of #Mastodon strong-arming other developers of the #fediverse into being compatible with their implementation just because they're the most-used software out there.

     Lets build towards standards and let mastodon silo themselves if they want.

     @mima

     Decisions about new software features should be made on the basis of whether or not the end users will find the features helpful.

     Not if the feature is too hard for particular developers.

     No disrespect meant.

     @Methylcobalamin@mastodon.social And it is still useless if not counterintuitive for the end user anyway because it is too trivial to circumvent (even unintentionally!) the security theatre that #Mastodon feature request is proposing. Which means to truly enforce the user's "request" (it's turned on by default btw which makes it even worse) to not quote their post, the instance's admin will have to defederate all instances that don't support Mastodon's "privacy setting" for #quoteposts. Which then means less useful timelines and broken social connections for the end users because congratulations, you just placed a #fediblock on the rest of the vast #fediverse using software like #Misskey, #Pleroma, #Akkoma, #Sharkey, #Hubzilla, #Friendica, etc.!
     
     So how is this helpful for the end user, again? :sagume_think:
