@mastodonmigration @lauren @heliomass 👆 This. Folks can always switch to a screenshot if needed, but removing the semantic "quoted context" makes it hard for the audience of the person doing the quoting to initiate unwanted contact with the original author.

I think the ability to take oneself out of quoted context will also help prevent quoting from turning into a substitute for functioning moderation like it was on :birdsite: (i.e. relying on mob to do the work mods weren't doing) and encourage continuing to just report something if it's abusive rather than quoting it for everyone to see. (This will also help avoid folks just seeing a bunch of outrage bait.)
