@rolle this is nice and all. But I still see people talking to themselves mentioning others with weird post privacy settings and I haven't yet figured out why. So I started following people only to see an answer to someone I was actually interested in following. I suspect this Access Control List is going to introduce further usability issues: you see some quoting from some user that you maybe follow, but the n you cannot see because the cross-product of another privacy setting vector.

UX hell.

@rolle badass

@rolle bluesky had that since launch

@rolle Out of curiosity... If you're running a Mastodon nightly, is there a super-secret ENV variable you need to set to enable quotes? Or is it something special that you need to compile?

@rolle wonder if this blocks people from linking to your posts if you have it on. Since that's how Quote posts were done before this...🤨

@rolle Does the new mastodon version also give reply control? One of my pet peeves here is you can't stop the debate by disabling replies if the replies go off tangent...

@rolle This is smart. I'm glad they implemented it this way. I was not 100% on board with quote posts here, even though I know I'd use them, because I remember how that feature was abused on X. 95% of the time I saw quote posts, the intention was to humiliate and direct harassment at someone.

Kind of nice to have product design that isn't guided by "how can we engineer as much conflict as possible"
