@2ndStar Im Alt-Text werden Doppelpunkte verwendet, auf den Schildern sind aber tatsächlich (nicht-standardisierte, aber geschätzte) Doppelbindestriche. Meiner Beobachtung nach bevorzugt von älteren Menschen verwendet und insgesamt sehr rar.
In the last few weeks, I have been trying to organise the #Mastodon development work, so our (very small!) resources are used efficiently. This led us to a tentative roadmap for Mastodon 4.3, with a (very optimistic) release date before Christmas.

One possible alternative implementation that allows even finer reply control:
1.) User marks content of a message they want to reply to (aka. what they do when quoting text now).
2.) Mastodon shows a new "Reply to" button (JS detects that text is highlighted by the user)
3.) Mastodon saves the text that was replied to as some metadata in the new toot
4.) When other users click on the new reply toot, they see the text in the original toot highlighted to indicate that the reply is to that. (Alternative: collapse the text that wasn't replied to)
