Let's live-toot the adding of quote-posting to #Mastodon for #AppleII, in case it interests some nerds.
First of all, let's detect whether a toot is quotable: https://github.com/colinleroy/a2tools/commit/275c282698a18169fcd0bda3ffbc0af55cbdbfe2
The JSON field `quote_approval.current_user` of a Status entity will either contain `automatic`, `manual`, `denied` or `unsupported_policy`. We'll consider everything but `denied` as quotable.
If the field doesn't exist, for retro-compatibility, we'll use a default `d`.

In the commit you'll see that we compare the first character of that field to `d`, this is much tighter size-wise than an strcmp().
