@renchap@oisaur.com @hackbyte My feeling is that having QTs where users are notified if they are quoted is much better than the option that people are using now which is to screenshot posts. Users have no control and are not notified. I use QTs to 'cite the source' and to provide context to comments. As an academic, it is a very efficient and much more contextually fair way to comment. As with most things, how a feature is used is the issue. If someone has malintent they will use any feature that way.

@renchap@oisaur.com Hrm.. I see ... and i understand the latter point - to some extent. Well, i'm happy to just use the friendica provided share option or a full quote.... Good luck with your endeavour. ;)

@renchap@oisaur.com @hackbyte @prachisrivas@masto.ai KISS. Don’t try to find the holy grail. Pareto: 80% is enough.

@renchap@oisaur.com @hackbyte @prachisrivas@masto.ai as someone who does want the feature I definitely agree with this approach. Allowing user control over quotability is crucial.

@renchap@oisaur.com Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the cautious, careful approach you've taken to search and are taking to quote posts, too. I'll be opting in to search (and probably QTs), but I know how important it is to others to be able to opt out. And making it opt-in — so that opt out is the default — is so crucial.
