I have seen the downsides of the Quote Post feature on Threads lately. There it is in even wider, in constant use, because there is no shares shown on your profile.
Quoting a post often puts others in a spotlight and not always in very flattering way. I have made that mistake myself as well. It doesn’t feel good if you criticize someone this way and people start slandering and it’s out of your control. I sometimes feel like a bully using it.
So if/when we ever get a Quote Post functionality here on Mastodon, I hope it will be different. Perhaps in this case the problem is Threads and the algorithm and not the feature itself though.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaPlasmanine (styled as plasmanine) is a line of free and open-source robots designed by Fyra Labs made to replicate human behaviors as accurately as possible.[1] Their software is a Linux distribution based on a modified version of their flagship Ultramarine Linux, named Plasmanine Linux.
[…]
The first officially revealed Plasmanine robots were designed after former CEO Lleyton “Lea” Gray and COO Jaiden Riordan, each named Lea Plasmanine and Jaiden Plasmanine. They were introduced by Nolan Lakemannsen in a press conference at Minnestar.[3][4]
Linus Torvalds announced today the release and general availability of Linux kernel 6.7, the latest stable version of the Linux kernel that introduces several new features and improvements.
Mastodon might introduce a "proprietary", home-brew "No quote-toots allowed" flag outside the ActivityPub standard that probably won't be documented anywhere. Just like their "sensitive image" flag, but even more critical.
And if that happens, all Fediverse projects that have a quote-post/quote-boost/quote-tweet/quote-toot/share feature will have to have that flag reverse-engineered from Mastodon's source code and implemented a functionality that greys out the corresponding button under "no quote-toot" posts. And all their instances will have to upgrade to a version that fully supports that flag before Mastodon rolls out that flag. Or else Mastodon will defederate all their instances for being non-compliant.
This will at least affect Friendica and everything that can be traced back to it, including Hubzilla and (streams), as well as Misskey and everything that can be traced back to it, including Firefish whose development is dead and dozens upon dozens of other Forkeys.
If this actually comes, and if it's enforced immediately after release with no grace period, Mastodon could just as well fully be defederated from the rest of the Fediverse due to being incompatible. It'd cause a rift between Mastodon and the non-Mastodon Fediverse anyway because the former would have a requirement for federation which the latter is incapable of fulfilling.
