Introducing quote posts
Over the years, we’ve learned just how essential quoting is to many of you. Here's a deep dive on how quote posts will work on Mastodon.

Cool, unser Server bildung.social hat jetzt die Zitierfunktion. Wer mag das hier zitieren und etwas drüberkommentieren? Will mal sehen, wie das praktisch aussieht (und ob ich es mitbekomme)

Being able to retroactively change who can quote post you is great, but I wish I could change the visibility of already published posts as well...

Quote post functionality will arrive on mastodon.online and mastodon.social next week.
It will be available more widely when Mastodon 4.5 is released in the near future.

It is good to realize that a “quoted” message in Mastodon can be changed and you will still “quote” it, not a problem but good to be aware of

Funnily enough, a week on since Mastodon introduced quote toots and apart from a small flurry of tests at the beginning, I don't think I've seen a single actual instance of one in the wild.

Ok, as a test I'm gonna quote this post and then I'm gonna quote it a 2nd time but with an edit on it...thus I'll see how quote posts work...
GLaDOS: "THIS SENTENCE IS FALSE"
Wheatley: "sorry, I didn't catch that? Did the sentence go on a vacation, is that why it is false?"

Looks like I'm going to have to ask an LLM what the point is of quote posts.
"What is the point of a quote post? What value does it bring me the social media user?"
The answer I got was facepalm...in short.

Forget about my naysaying about being able to quote posts...
