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

@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

[jailandrade@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon why don't add Following? it's better that people you follow to quote you because you have choose them than to let someone that you don't know (Followers) quote you

[echtenachtraaf@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon I thought we pretty much universally agreed that quoting is what invited a lot of trolling on x, instead of having to engage in meaningful discussion?

[efrem_c_79@mastodon.social]

@Mastodon I can't find the feature to moderate comments and/or review them before publishing them under each post I create. Could this be integrated in the future (as an additional feature) or is it already available? Thanks.

[mastodon@mastodon.social]

@CelianGodefroid thanks for the positive words on the feature. We did consider opt-in/out, absolutely. Important note: defaults for post visibility and quotability only impact *future* posts. This means your past posts cannot be quoted. This is different from toggling profile discovery, which has an immediate impact. We're providing an early heads-up for people on these two servers (and anyone on 4.4.x elsewhere) that they can set their default visibility now, to prevent being quoted in future.

@Mastodon Nice implementation! Thanks for including the revocation functionality
