@fedilore maybe that's why Gargron wants to take time to do this the right way

@me Yes. He originally didn't want them because they were pretty widely used for being mean on Twitter, but since committing to them he's wanted to address these issues.

But also, it does not actually seem like there's a way to do that without making it worse.

If he adds all these security features that only fully-updated Mastodon servers will recognize, then people will think they're safer than they are.

@fedilore calling non-Mastodon users could be solved by a forced "DM" from the quoter

@me If the contents of the post are pulled through ActivityPub and the notification is sent out as a reply with a forced tag, the risks are pretty low.

But only if everybody is doing it that way.

I worry that a forced tag in Mastodon-to-Mastodon quotes will give a false sense of security that it works the same way for all fedi quotes.

@fedilore but quote posts are already here - and Mastodon has no power to limit how those work
