   @tokyo_0 That indeed seems to be a gap. But block should be working on your instance. Why is your instance showing you posts from this user when you have blocked them? That is the gap in my opinion. Even if they at mention you, you should not see them on your timeline.

     @adnan Maybe the #Fediverse would benefit from some kind of "listed and fediverse-public but not external-public" level of post visibility that would allow people to have their posts on hashtags propagated across the fediverse and visible internally within the federated timeline but not visible via pages like the non-authenticated external search on most instances to people who are not logged in 🤔

     @tokyo_0 I think you rightly said that it is going to be quite difficult to prevent linking to posts which is what "quote posting" is. Hyperlinks are one of the fundamental building blocks of the web. I really don't have any good ideas but I will say that Gargron - who only builds Mastodon and not the whole fediverse - can't prevent quote posting any more than they can prevents folks linking out to articles.

     Btw threads recently said that they will allow their users to block quote posting

     @tokyo_0 if it fediverse public, it will still be visible to the undesirable mob.

     @tokyo_0 Facebook used to allow something like that - visibility and comments only for "Friends of Friends". It was my preferred option. It led to the most civil and interesting conversations - it was like being at a dinner party with enough new people but not complete strangers.
