@chartier @dangoodin Quote posts are on the public roadmap for Mastodon, btw: https://joinmastodon.org/roadmap
Personally I think there are other far more important features that need adding first (such as restricting who can reply to posts and other safety measures).
Also worth pointing out that there are alternatives to Mastodon that don't have its mindshare (or iOS apps) that already support quoting and more normal search such as Calckey/Misskey/Hometown etc.
@JonnyT @dangoodin If it's built with safety in mind *first* I am cautiously optimistic, because I *do* see the upside to them.
But these features historically almost never have been. And people unharmed by this stuff just keep trampling on. It's enraging.
