Mastodon, the decentralized alternative to X, plans to implement quote posts, mirroring a controversial feature from Twitter. This decision has sparked a split among users; some view quote posts as a means of fostering negativity and online abuse, while others see them as valuable for referencing content when responding. Mastodon recognizes the concern but also notes the demand for the feature. To address issues of unwanted attention, they will allow users to control whether or not their posts can be quoted.
Many people simply do not want their content to be reframed by others; or they may find that if it is reposted, they receive unwelcome attention.
Mastodon is both a source of concern for some and highly requested by others, indicating a division in user sentiment regarding the implementation of quote posts.
