@hackbyte @prachisrivas@masto.ai @renchap@oisaur.com I'm speaking about the cultural realpolitik of the Fediverse and the specific user concerns of the subset of Fedizens who have experienced weaponized quotes as tools of abuse and harassment on other platforms. Launching a quote feature without that control would be divisive, possibly explosive, and could lead to additional forks and drama. Detailed arguments aside I respect their concerns and so support the control. It may well be "necessary but not sufficient"

@mrcompletely@heads.social @prachisrivas@masto.ai @renchap@oisaur.com And in the "cultural realpolitik of the fediverse", mastodon is actually the only platform w/o a quoted post feature... Additionally, i think, you can't fix civilisatory and social problems with laws and/or technology. There will sadly never be a sufficient solution.
