@Gargron If you do add it, you should make it so people can opt to have their posts “quote posted.” If the setting is on, people can do it. If not, then they can only boost.

You can even have it apply per post settings as well. Just a few suggestions.

@darnell I don't want my posts quoted. As long as it's an opt-in thing, I'm fine with it. And the option to hide quoted posts. @Gargron

@darnell @Gargron Remember that the Fediverse is not just mastodon. So these safeguards have to be implemented in the other elements of the Fediverse too.

@darkstar I doubt @Gargron can control how other platforms like #Pleroma & #MissKey handle quote posting (the latter two already have this built in). #Mastodon has tremendous influence in the #Fediverse, but at the same time other platforms can ignore Mastond’s suggestions.

I doubt Gargron can control…

And he should not try to control it too. The Fediverse is huge and that was the philosophy behind it - decentralization and no central control.

Besides Misskey and Pleroma, we also have #Rebased as BE and #Soapbox as FE too 🙂

What I love about Soapbox is that we have this fancy thing that lets us remove people from a conversation so we can avoid mentioning people and disturb them just because they happen to be in a thread.
