Oh, I see now how quote posting is going to be processed around here...
Not a bad system at all, although I do have my doubts it'll work well when the quoted posts are coming from networks where this kind of approval is tacitly given by default, such as Bluesky, like in this case.

“Let us be reminded that before there is a final solution, there must be a first solution, a second one, even a third. The move toward a final solution is not a jump. It takes one step, then another, then another.” ― Toni Morrison, The Source of Self-Regard: Selected Essays, Speeches, and Meditations #quote

Also, this is misleading.
In this case, the post was not removed by its author. It's just a Bluesky account that restricts its visibility outside the BSky network, which means it can't be bridged.
So, yeah, it's a good start, but it needs tweaking.

"In Boston, between 1709 and 1713, townspeople protested vigorously and then took extralegal action when Andrew Belcher, a wealthy merchant, refused to stop exporting grain during a bread shortage in the city...he chose to export grain to the Caribbean, at a handsome profit, rather than sell it for a smaller profit to hungry townspeople, his ships were attacked and his warehouses emptied by an angry crowd...Bostonians of meagre means learned that through concerted action, the powerless could become powerful, if only for the moment. Wealthy merchants who would not listen to pleas from the community could be forced through collective action to subordinate profits to the public need."
- Gary B. Nash, "Social Change and the Growth of Prerevolutionary Urban Radicalism" in The American Revolution (ed. Alfred F. Young, Northern Illinois University Press, 1976), pg. 11
