Coming soon on your Mastodon server… The long awaited quote posts, with user-control (you can chose if you want to be quoted on a per-post basis, change it later, and retract any quote of your post)

Amazing work by the team 🎉

Expect a blog post with all the details in a few weeks, support in the mobile apps, then we will enable the feature on mastodon.social, then release Mastodon 4.5

And now thanks to @chaosexanimaecho ✨ I can show you how the retractation works:
- you get a notification when someone quotes you
- on their post, you have a new menu to remove their quote of your post
- you confirm, and your quote is removed and shown as having been retracted
- the quote is no longer displayed on the original post

A screenshot of the Mastodon interface showing a post by Echo quoting one of mine, with the post menu open and a new "Remove my post from @echo's post" item

A screenshot of a Mastodon confirmation modal, titled "Remove post?", with
"This action cannot be undone." as text, a "Cancel" button, and "Remove post" button

Screenshot of Echo's post, but the quote is replaced with "Post unavailable"

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://oisaur.com/users/renchap/statuses/115068805739885059 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
