You know, you can literally just post a link to someone's post, and any sufficiently well developed client could just display it as a quote anyway, without any server support at all...

Not to mention that there's nothing that can prevent an ActivityPub implementation from adding it as an extension, as is already the case, which is how I'm quoting you right now...

Campaigning against quote posts in Mastodon is like campaigning against the availability of cupholders in one specific brand of automobile, because you think it makes the roads less safe. There's no law preventing you from installing a cup holder (don't need the manufacturer to support it) and there's many other brands of cars, some of which already decided to install cup holders.
