Starting next week, you\u2019ll see an option to quote another user by selecting the repost \u2014 or \u201cboost\u201d \u2014 button, allowing you to add your thoughts to someone else\u2019s post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The decentralized platform initially planned not to launch quote posts over concerns that they could be used for harassment or to take someone out of context. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/613376\/mastodon-quote-posts-update\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mastodon reversed this decision<\/a> in February, saying a lack of quote posts might discourage people from joining the fediverse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Mastodon is bringing quote posts to mastodon.online and mastodon.social first, but will roll out the feature more broadly with the Mastodon 4.5 update. If you don\u2019t want someone to repost your content with a quote, Mastodon will let you disable quoting for all posts, or just for individual ones. You can also limit who quotes you to anyone on the platform, followers only, or just yourself, as well as remove your content from someone else\u2019s quote post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Mastodon notes that if you quote a post from another fediverse platform, \u201cit may take some time for the quote to appear.\u201d It also worked on <a href=\"https:\/\/codeberg.org\/fediverse\/fep\/src\/branch\/main\/fep\/044f\/fep-044f.md\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a technical specification<\/a> for quote posting in the fediverse and hopes that other platforms will adopt it. You can find more information about quote posts, as well as how to adjust your quote post settings, <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.joinmastodon.org\/user\/quote-posts\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">on Mastodon\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mastodon is officially rolling out quote posts.
