 Here's an idea for Mastodon quote posts which I don't think would upset any of the people opposed to quoting: allow me to quote just my own posts This would enable one of my key purposes of quoting: it would allow me to create navigation paths between my own content, including letting me reply to someone to point them to something I had previously answered Made our lemon pigs for New Year's Eve! https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/lemon-pigs-new-year 🍋 🐷 #LemonPig Apparently there are people out there who think it's inappropriate to use Mastodon to talk about books you've written or promote projects you've worked on because it's marketing and self-promotion? I am not one of those people. I implore you to write about the work you have done and the things you have made - I want to hear about that stuff!

  @simon Mastodon is filled to the gills with folks who want to police toots. Unless you’re running a scam, self-promote away, I say! Ignore the haters. Accidental bonus: I typed my blog entry in VS Code with GitHub Copilot enabled, and at one point Copilot itself helpfully started suggesting crimes for me! The 25 minute video for my #DjangoCon talk is out: "Massively increase your productivity on personal projects with comprehensive documentation and automated tests" I've posted the video along with an annotated version of the talk - with notes and links for each of the slides - here on my blog: I've decided to extend my personal rule that "the price of doing a project is that you have to write about it" to cover talks as well! We got safety vests for our chickens when we were having our new patio built - here's Azi briefly wearing one (she wasn't a fan)

The only downside I can think of here is usability: it's not going to be easy for people to understand WHY they can quote themselves but nobody else
