@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.
