Tech Note Of The Day (TNOTD):
If you're now on an instance that's been upgraded to the v4.4.* Mastodon distro series, you may want to set your Quote Posts visibility
NOTE: no one can *create* Quote Posts now, this is just in preparation for the v4.5.* distro upgrade
So, at
Preferences (now down at the bottom of the right column) --> Other
find "Who can quote" and set to your preference
I've set mine to "Only your (my) followers"
Note: "This setting will only take effect for posts created with the next Mastodon version, but you can select your preference in preparation."
BE SURE TO SAVE CHANGES
Carry on as you were

Who is ready for #quoteposts on Mastodon?
"Technology is the active human interface with the material world.
But the word is consistently misused to mean only the enormously complex and specialised technologies of the past few decades, supported by massive exploitation both of natural and human resources."

How are #QuotePosts going to work on progressive web apps?
Will there be a pop-up when we tap on the 'repost' icon?
Like choose 'repost' or 'quotepost'
In general I try not to swear so much these days, but...
... why the FUCK is this set to "Everyone" by default?
#consent #fediverse #MastoDev #Mastodon #onlineSafety #optIn #quotePosts
@festal @katzenberger @Gargron It should be possible to not allow #quotePosts at all, and it should be the default behaviour with allowing quote posts being #optIn.
It's what he promised. It's what he should deliver. And while he has a proven history of ignoring even the best supported change requests in the Mastodon Github, it should be the top issue until it is fixed.
Just did a quick and dirty spreadsheet to find out what percentage of instances and users are on Mastodon 4.4 (pre-quote-posts) and 4.5 (quote-posts), and it's like this:
4.4 (pre-quote-posts): 29.7% of instances, 9.1% of users.
4.5 (quote-posts, but not yet): 1.2% of instances, 11.0% of users.

in a call about quote posts and i can't help but think about doing a choose-your-own-adventure with this spec...
Ich wüsste garnicht, wie ich mich zu quoten "erlauben" könnte, oder warum ich das verbieten sollte (völlig sinnlos..),
ein "ping" gequotet worden zu sein kann ich nicht erinnern, evtl. noch nie passier..
und vielen ist auch völllig klar, daß mastodon nicht das fediverse ist und es noch zig andere gibt (sieht man doch an diversen Dingen die mastos nicht können)
das soll ich für böse Hacks halten? 😂 les ich zum ersten Mal von. 🤷♂️
Ich mache mir allerdings ein bisschen Sorgen, was passiert wenn irgendjemand auf Friendica/Hubzilla/Whatever einen Mastodon Beitrag von jemanden zitiert (quoteposted) der das nicht möchte und der dann mitbekommt das sein Beitrag zitiert wird. Ich auf Friendica kann ja nicht sehen, ob jemand damit einverstanden ist, es kann also leicht passieren das man einen Beitrag von jemanden zitiert (wenn ich jetzt "zitiert" schreibe meine ich einen Quoted-Share), der das nicht möchte.
Das kann ich auch sehr gut nachvollziehen, ich glaube allerdings, das eine technische Lösung für ein Soziales Problem nicht funktioniert.
I just realized ivory can do quote posts.
I’m curious what the point of them is?
I was always confused on X when people used them 😅
das heißt, auf Mastodon sieht man einen Quote nur wenn der zitierte expliziet zustimmt, während der Quote auf allen anderen Fediverse Plattformen ganz normal angezeigt wird?
Mastodon really has become the new matrix ...
Holy heck, I just saw an announcement for quote posts in Mastodon 4.4. That's a big design change. #QuotePosts #Mastodon #UX
Update: Quote Posts are now implemented in 4.4 and will be available in 4.5

Tiny Mastodon Tip About Quote Posts :mastodon: 📢
If your instance is already running the newly released version Mastodon 4.4,
Know that in preparation for the full implementation, the team has included a consent setting for the upcoming Quote Post feature.
While quoting a post will not
be available as a native feature until Mastodon 4.5 later this year, it's wonderful that you can adjust if you want in or not before it even arrives! :awesome:
HOW TO❓
1. From the web interface, go to "Preferences" on the right-side menu. Then click on "Other" under the "Preferences" section :blocky_white_cursor:
2. If your instance was newly updated, you should now see an option in "Posting Defaults" for "Who can quote" (see image below) 👇
Note: If the option isn't there, your instance has not updated to the version including it yet. Be patient, it will likely be added in the weeks to come.
3. From the "Who can quote" drop-menu, you can choose either "Everyone", "Followers and mentioned users", or "Only mentioned users" :ablobcatnod:
4. Once the next version is released, you will be ready for Quote Posts! No matter your choices 💪
5. Enjoy the freedom of choosing the features you wish to participate in (or not)! 😌✨
