Jorge CandeiasAlso, this is misleading.In this case, the post was not removed by its author. It's just a Bluesky account that restricts its visibility outside the BSky network, which means it can't be bridged.So, yeah, it's a good start, but it needs tweaking.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/QuotePosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuotePosting</a>

Jorge CandeiasOh, I see now how quote posting is going to be processed around here...Not a bad system at all, although I do have my doubts it'll work well when the quoted posts are coming from networks where this kind of approval is tacitly given by default, such as Bluesky, like in this case.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/QuotePosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuotePosting</a>

ResearchBuzz: FirehoseTechCrunch: Mastodon is working to add the controversial ‘quote posts’ feature. “Mastodon, the decentralized alternative to X, is going to adopt a controversial feature from the platform formerly known as Twitter: quote posts. The company on Friday shared the progress it’s making on the implementation of the feature, which has divided users over its potential to be used for online abuse […]<a href="https://rbfirehose.com/2025/02/15/techcrunch-mastodon-is-working-to-add-the-controversial-quote-posts-feature/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://rbfirehose.com/2025/02/15/techcrunch-mastodon-is-working-to-add-the-controversial-quote-posts-feature/</a>

Mastodon Migration<a href="https://mas.to/@carnage4life" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@carnage4life</a> Mastodon engineering has said that it is coming. They have given it a lot of thought. And it's not a trivial matter to get it right.As with search, making big functional changes to a complex system with millions of users needs to be done carefully and rigorously tested.We can be hopeful that this cautious approach will result in a solid capability once they do roll it out.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/QuotePosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuotePosting</a>

okanogen VerminEnemyFromWithinI searched deep in my soul and have determined that yes, I still really, really want <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/QuotePosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuotePosting</a> here. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/QuotePosts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuotePosts</a>

Mastodon Migration<a href="https://mastodon.social/@tess" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@tess</a> The concern is that with the current system good posts get promoted and the author gets credit. This is the way you build engagement. If the quote booster is the post that goes viral then the original author doesn't really get credited for their work. Popular accounts would have the potential to drown out smaller accounts, whereas now popular accounts promote good posts by smaller accounts. This could really impact the way Mastodon works.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/QuotePosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuotePosting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/QuoteBoosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuoteBoosting</a>

Mastodon Migration<a href="https://mastodon.social/@tess" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@tess</a> One aspect of quote boosting, that should get attention is how boosts are tallied. This may seem like a minor point, but when you boost a post the post's original author gets the boost, and people can see how popular the post is based on the number of people who boost it. With quote boosts, who gets the boost credit? The original author or the booster, who may just type "read this...". <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/QuotePosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuotePosting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/QuoteBoosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuoteBoosting</a>1/2

One of the things that Mastodon has done very well is not to over promise, and to make certain that when something is released that it generally works. Quote Posting is a big change and we need to give them time to get it right.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/QuotePosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuotePosting</a>

Mastodon MigrationScreenshot Quote PostingBy now you may have heard about the change eliminating the frustrating 16:9 cropping of posts in feeds (<a href="https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/110774797138668211" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/110774797138668211</a>).One of the biggest implications of this change is that you can now quote post simply by attaching a screenshot of the original post. You can be confident that the quote post image will properly display everywhere and not cut off on the left, right, top or bottom.Whatever you think about <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/QuotePosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuotePosting</a>, this is something we can now do.

Sam :mxlinux: :kde:<a href="https://mastodon.social/@Gargron" class="u-url mention">@Gargron</a> I would wait and reassess if/when the journalist class decides whether they’re really going to stay on mastodon, or if they’re just sheltering here until the weather at twitter quiets down. Anecdotal data, but I only ever see journalist expats whining about not having it, while the couple that I’ve seen who have really moved in to stay (making new friends, connections outside of other twitter expats, self hosting even) don’t seem to “need” it so badly. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/QuotePosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#QuotePosting</a>

Misinformation-SuperhighwaymanQuote posting is incompatible with the "Edit" feature. Mastodon has one, Twitter has the other, but nobody can have both if we care about truthiness

Alan Brand :canada: :CApride:It would be nice if people demanding quote posting could use the tag <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/QuotePosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QuotePosting</a> so I could filter the subject out of my feed.
