Ryan for a permanent ceasefire@darius @jessamyn @dansinker @danhon I personally would love to see explicit consent built in to any kind of quote-boosting feature.
Perhaps a DM notification that would require the initial poster to approve a quote boost before it goes out?
It not only would give them power to approve, but also provide warning that they might want to lock down their accounts if they've been found by a group trying to brigade against them.
This second facet would hopefully act as a deterrent against bad-faith, weaponized decontextualization.
Should anyone be interested, here's a short thread with more of what I've been mulling over about this: https://hcommons.social/@ryanrandall/109553154946648210
