Here's the thing about #QuotePosts - it doesn't matter what #Mastodon does, how much they "thought about" it, how "smart" they were with making an "abuse-proof" system, because client apps already do them, and your client app IS your Mastodon experience.

@metaning no that's a universally agreed "point" to the way they're allowing people to remove their posts from the quote post feature they're building...🤨
If someone wants their post removed from the quote post, they'll be able to do that with the new feature.
Not with how the apps have it.

@metaning the article...I'm so confused right now.
The debate regarding quote posts was that people could dunk on others with their following.
