Coming soon on your Mastodon server… The long awaited quote posts, with user-control (you can chose if you want to be quoted on a per-post basis, change it later, and retract any quote of your post)

Amazing work by the team 🎉

Expect a blog post with all the details in a few weeks, support in the mobile apps, then we will enable the feature on mastodon.social, then release Mastodon 4.5

This is built on FEP-044f (Consent-respecting quote posts, codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src…), which requires the quoted account to provide a stamp proving that they approved the quote.
If there is no such stamp (or it has been invalidated), then Mastodon (and other software supporting the FEP) will not display the quote.
If the quoted account does not support the FEP, no stamps will be issued, and the quote will not be displayed either, only the link (as before).

For Mastodon API developers: there is no documentation (yet) for the APIs around composing quote posts, but this will come soon.

We added documentation for displaying quote posts (docs.joinmastodon.org/entities…), which is already supported in Mastodon 4.4 and we encourage you to support it in your clients as this will soon be available to all users.

@amberage One wonders why Gargon even bothers with user-controllable scopes (equivalent of client-side auth checks as it's federated network) when his target audience won't budge a bit. Exhibit A:

fuck that shit. Why we putting Twitter's worst harassment tool into the supposedly better social media site?

Mastodon needs to stop chasing Twitter and start having an identity of its own, and replicating the hellsite 1:1 and hoping it will just magically be better clearly ain't working.

boosts are more important that comments on fedi, especially as posts begin to be actual articles, videos and podcast episodes themselves. virality is the killer app of social media, and having work be natively AP enabled is the killer app for the #SocialWeb. the value of a QP imo is just to ensure my followers also see my comment, not just the post. not dunking etc.

I hope that's all part of what you built 😀

Unfortunately, this is yet another proprietary solution from and for Mastodon, and not a Fediverse solution.

It is a pseudo-solution, and no, Mastodon users cannot choose who can and may quote their posts. This only works within Mastodon; all other Fediverse services can continue to freely quote and make quoted posts, as they have done up to now.
