   @pierrenick @MastodonEngineering well...I didn't just pull that idea out of a hat.

   It's how threads does quote posts. Wanna link to a post on threads and that user limits who can quote post them? You ain't linking to that post.

   That's why I'm worried they're just doing that.

     @renchap @pierrenick I've only had a few minutes to read over it this morning but from what I read, my concerns are exactly what is being done and will be a moderation nightmare for people that rely on crowdsourced moderation like single user instances. (Me and many others)

     If I can't link to another site within my own site, then I'm out. Fedi already has a bad direct harassment problem. Not being able to call it out on the harassers demand just feels ridiculous. Not that anyone cares what one random dude does anyway. Just feels like a bad, bad move.

     @BeAware This is a very hard question in a decentralised network, as you can not trust any other servers. The research and pre-FEP discussion that we linked in the blog post go into more detail around those questions.

     @BeAware So far, we are not planning to forbid linking to statuses if the person refuses to be quoted. A link is not a quote. There are still a lot of open questions (like, what is the UI behaviour if you paste such a link into the composer? Maybe we should ask the user if they want to transform it into a quote?). This is something we have in mind and will continue working on it. So far we mostly focused on the ActivityPub side of things.

     @renchap thanks for this. Much appreciated.

     Other devs have blocked me for lesser discussions.🫡
