@sotolf@polymaths.social @mike@sauropods.win @konkrit@mastodon.social @barometz@social.treehouse.systems @MastodonEngineering@mastodon.social for the limiting/retracting to work, your server needs to implement this.
But this whole discussion/proposal is somewhat miss guided, since this only can limit the new native quote toots, while nothing can stop anyone from just linking to toots, like we all do now.
This tries to enforce something, that can only work if people play nice.

@mxk@hachyderm.io @mike@sauropods.win @konkrit@mastodon.social @barometz@social.treehouse.systems @MastodonEngineering@mastodon.social i'm okay with linking, since I can deal with that, what with private posts, or ones with limited reach? That maastodon forces this on us is really bad..

@mxk@hachyderm.io @sotolf@polymaths.social @konkrit@mastodon.social @barometz@social.treehouse.systems @MastodonEngineering@mastodon.social That's right. In the absence of mechanism, people who want to quote-post do so anyway using copy-paste and/or linking, which the original poster has absolutely no control over. This proposal, when implemented, will give original posters more control than they currently have.
