Today, we’re ready to show you the upcoming quote posts feature in more detail.

@Mastodon can we remove ourselves from quote toots on a case by case basis?

[lazyb0y@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon i don’t understand why this took so long.

the worries that this could be used to make negative comments about others post are completely out of reality, because this can also be achieved by posting it as a link or posting a screenshot.

on other platforms that is handled quite simply: if somebody does a repost that you don’t like, block the account and done.

Actually, then they still can post links or screenshots with negative comments because thats anyway completely unavoidable.

@Mastodon Cool. Can we get Markdown support (when composing) next?

[celiangodefroid@piaille.fr]

@Mastodon That's great and I like the feature, but have you given thought to making quote-posts opt-in and not opt-out ? I really feel like opt-out is a mistake... You've made many things opt-in, like search discoverability, why not this ?

@Mastodon THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

[poldemo@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon Thanks!

[caffetino@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon thank-you!

[jplebreton@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon What were the arguments for "quoting text above quoted post" over "quoting text below quoted post"? This is going to create a "dunk culture" on Mastodon with no upside beyond "works how it does on [toxic platforms that Mastodon positions itself as a better alternative to]".
What is your plan for dealing with the cultural problems this will create? "You can disable quotes, but it won't retroactively remove your post from a harasser's timeline" is bolting the door too late.

@Mastodon Will it be available in the app?

[sadsquatch@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon neat!

[e32@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon Is posts going to have metrics showing how many people quoted that post. Is so are we able see those quotes?

[stopsatgreen@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon Thank you.

[ridetheory@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon Entweetification. I do not want quote toots, and will be disabling the feature as soon as it rolls out. Ugh.

[krafttea@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon Cool.
Now when will you allow longer posts, as numerous other sites - now including X - do?
The longer text can be hidden behind a click, if that would help.

@Mastodon
I thought #Mastodon already had this feature! ️

[412david@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon Thanks. Definitely turning it off.

[mubarakwix@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon I'm new here

[flng@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon yay! 🤩

[pippipopple@mastodon.social]

> me any time @Mastodon improves their software in any way

[rolarizpe@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon me quedo con duda si de momento solo se podrá citar desde la web o también se podrá desde la app oficial
