Post
You can now set your quote posting privacy preferences on Mastodon. You can allow anyone / just your followers / nobody to quote you:
1. Log into your server's website
2. Click ⚙️ Preferences (if you're on a phone it's ☰ in bottom right and ⚙️ Preferences)
3. Click "Other" (if you're on a phone it's ☰ in top right and "Other")
4. On "Who Can Quote" menu select option you want
5. Click "Save Changes" button
The actual ability to quote post will be in the next Mastodon update.
p.s. Several people pointing out if you make a public post, people can still screenshot or copy-paste or link to it, no matter what you choose.
However, setting your quote preference is still useful for two reasons:
- It shows your preferences to those who respect them. People who see no quote option after quoting launches will know you don't want to be quoted.
- It adds friction for those who defy your wishes, their quote posts will look crap because they have tried to bypass your wishes.
