BeAware@jsit @Ctrl_R well...the same can be said for bad actors/bad behaving users wanting to hide their bad behavior.
Crowdsourced moderation is very important to small instances and single user instances like mine that don't have multiple eyes on things at all times. These crowdsourced moderation strategies include linking to the offending posts for "proof" of the offensive behavior.
This could lead to people being able to hide their behavior and it worried me a bit.
Sure, there's still screenshots but we know how easy it is to edit those and I don't feel fully comfortable always trusting screenshots for stuff like that.
Renaud claimed that they are currently not thinking about tying "linking posts" to quote posts directly. So theoretically linking/fetching how it does currently, and quote posting, will both still be possible.
I can see how this can cause concern, however, I hope you see how it can be bad to take that ability away as well.
