@Mastodon For people who are afraid that quoted posts wouldn't be something you can't opt-out of, @Gargron said in this post (https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/109623910323239777) that "If we did do it we'd like to make it something you can opt out of …".

Although I personally prefer opt-in, I think this is also fine, especially considering new users wouldn't find this opt-in toggle so easily in the settings (except when asked during onboarding - what I don't think will happen).

Opt-out means there are two user options to implement:

1. Opt-out default for all posts (under Posting defaults)
2. Opt-out for single posts (below the compose window)

Actually these are the same options as the 'Posting privacy', that you can also set as a posting default or only for single posts.

❗ Another important thing to consider is an option for server administrators to reverse the opt-out. This is especially important for existing communities, who want to keep the old behaviour, but still give their users the option to opt-in.
