His grand vision remains to leave Mastodon users in control of the social network, making their own decisions about what content is allowed or what appears in their timelines.
I don’t use Mastadon cause I don’t care for micro-blogging, but nevertheless, I like this.
Oh dang. I’m sure users wanted it, but it’s too effective as a mobbing tool. I don’t think it’ll help the protocol.
If you block somebody that quote posts you on Bluesky, their quote post no longer has your post in it or anything pointing to you. You also can straight up delete people’s replies to your posts there. Hopefully Masto’s iteration on QRTs works similarly, though people always have the option to “screenshot dunk” instead.
I think they decided on an opt in feature.
