I think I've just chased someone out of the Fediverse.
That someone was afraid of Mastodon being "screwed over" by becoming quote-post-able.
I've told him the truth: Mastodon has been quote-post-able for as long as it has been around. Mastodon became quote-post-able the very moment it was launched.
That's because when Mastodon was launched, it immediately federated with Friendica which is from 2010, which had been around for almost six years at that point, and which has had quote-posts from its own inception AFAIK. Mastodon also immediately federated with Hubzilla which has had quote-posts since its own inception, since it had been forked from Friendica, and that was in 2012.
Mastodon has never been un-quote-post-able.Right now, there are
dozens of Fediverse server apps whose users can quote-post Mastodon toots with no resistance.
