Mastodon plans to roll out quote posts next week, with safety features that give users several ways to control how their posts can be quoted, to avoid “dunking”

As Mike Masnick aptly wrote in this article, it's the classical Nazi bar problem: once a bar allows Nazis, even if the owner isn't a Nazi themselves, other people will (rightfully) see it as a Nazi bar - and they will and act accordingly  —  See Substack as another illustration [embedded post]
