      Thanks! And yeah, last few weeks have gotten wayy busier with news, its quite noticeable to me. I’m especially excited that there is lots of news outside of the microblogging sphere as well, that part is the most interesting part of the fediverse to me

      (mentions to my indieweb account are still broken for some reason, no idea why haha)

    > The ability to opt-out of quote posts is also currently planned, which makes it that Mastodon’s implementation will not be compatible with other fediverse implementations of quote posting.

    Not surprising. Even before ActivityPub was announced, when the #fediverse was still powered by #OStatus, Mastodon was already breaking compatibility. There were countless of heated debates about almost every Mastodon-only “feature” they implemented that all other Fediverse devs were _forced_ to implement.

    And here we are with yet another.

    I wonder what will supporters of opt-out or anti-quotepost camp will do if the other Fediverse devs ignore this Mastodon-only “feature”, and just continue with the common implementation of quote posts? Are we going to see a new reason for “fediblock”, and finally fragment the Fediverse network?

      To add, #Fediverse devs should agree and make a stand not to implement any mainline Mastodon-only “feature” related to quote post.

      If mainline Mastodon instances and users complain about it, they can just rely on “fediblock” and use this reason: “refused to implement Mastodon-only quote post feature”. Sure it will fragment the Fediverse network, but why not? People and the media keeps calling it the “Mastodon network” anyway.

      Users who prefer the Fediverse network over the mainline Mastodon network can migrate over to friendlier and sane instances. 😉

      Not only are they federating with each other, but they implemented Group to Group following to help prevent duplicate posts. Its a feature that’s been requested for lemmy/kbin/mbin, so it’ll be interesting to see how well it works for them.

    which makes it that Mastodon’s implementation will not be compatible with other fediverse implementations

    What a surprise! I never would have expected Mastodon to ignore compatibility with the rest of the fediverse /s
