Gregory's Server
@tess @renchap That is something that can be improved here if we want to continue making Mastodon ”healthier” plave. If I block user A who has quoted me, that should always invalidate all past, present and future quotes from me by user A, the same way that user can no longer view or interact with any of my posts when blocked. So ideally the quoted post would become unavailable for everyone. The other users can of course choose to ask or circumvent this in other ways. The link technically would be left intact so not sure how it would work anyway 🤔 Food for thought.

  @renchap @rolle I mean, you can always just post a hard link to a public post, or screenshot. The big thing is to make the easy path the one with the protections, which forces people to be actively malicious instead of just casually cruel, and also to make the easy path nudge people towards prosocial behavior. This is also why I continue to advocate for bottom text on QBs, because it encourages "yes, and..." and discourages "hey look at this asshole". Thank you so much. I appreciate that y'all are not just aping what other platforms do, but are trying to do what's best for the folks who spend time on fedi. ❤️ |
@rolle @renchap perhaps if the link was encrypted and went through the server? There has to be a way to do it; whether it's practical or efficient is another question.
