            What's specifically different about a quote post that isn't just quoting someone with quote marks, is it just easier?

              @Printdevil The problem is that it makes it really simple to 'dunk' on people... Being performatively rude and/or horrible to someone in front of your followers while also sending them after the dunkee. @Tim_Eagon

                Are these changes reactions to the huge numbers of X and Bluesky people who want things, and not a reflection of what Masto users enjoy?

                  @Printdevil Evidently the CEO of bluesky has been melting down over Jesse Singal of all people and there may be a migration taking place. Implementing horrible but familiar features from bluesky is about drawing new people in. @Tim_Eagon

                    @Printdevil Quote posts means being able to boost someone's post and add a comment at the top. I think it's a nice feature, you can say why you are boosting.

                      @strangequark And antique blunderbusses look wonderful above the fireplace until your neighbour annoys you in just the right way. Combine that with sheer weight of numbers and it's *blam* *blam* *blam* all day long. @Printdevil @Tim_Eagon

                        I assume there is some mechanic in Masto to just "block quote posts"

                        It seems a very mastodon thing to include?

                          @Taskerland @Printdevil @Tim_Eagon quote posts appear to be important to a lot of Mastodon users. Iโ€™ve only felt the lack of them less than a handful of times in several years. They do appear important to black users for the sake of callbacks.
                          .
                          Personally not looking forward to quote posts, but hopefully they get implemented with a Mastodonian twist or two. And hopefully they will serve the need for the populations that do expect a benefit.

                              @Taskerland @Da_Gut @Printdevil There are some differences between the classic Twitter implementation and what Mastodon is appearing to do. Cosmetically, the original post appears first and then the quote is underneath it. More importantly, you can determine who can actually quote you (the 4.4 settings are available now and are Anyone, Followers, or Just Me).

                                @Taskerland @Da_Gut @Printdevil You'll also be able to remove the ability to quote individual posts, remove your post from another's quote, and get notified of quotes.

                                  I'm not sure about the app, but I think the web interface has already inserted this option into the Other Preferences menu. You can choose who you allow to quote your posts.

                                    @icosacade @Printdevil @Taskerland @strangequark yep, it became available in 4.4 even though the quote functionality doesnโ€™t fully become available until 4.5.

                                        @Taskerland @Printdevil @Tim_Eagon This right here. I know that Twitter's quislings (pre-Musk) claimed that was a minority usage from their data, but it was **not** the minority of what was in my feed or what they were used for against me.

                                        As soon as any of my instances update to 4.5 I immediately hard-disable quote posts for me. If I can't, I drop Mastodon.
