hopefully this means you just won’t be pinged anymore? if the app view refuses to display the post that is a quote to people following the post author that’s extremely lame

It’s not magical, people can always screencap or whatever. It just lets you escape unwanted attention if someone is quote dunking you and you wanna unassociate with the post
2 1 7goeo like thewhy not just stop getting pings for it and allow people to talk about it with their own followers
1 4goeo like thei don’t think the quoted post’s author gets to decide

soap 😁also i think this might cause more harm than good
if i want to say something mean in a quote i'll just start screenshotting and then there's no friction at all compared to the current block system

🍁 thankful frood 🦃I get where you’re coming from but there’s still added friction here, people have to look you up and find the post in order to harass you and most won’t
3 11Samuelalso it’s then pretty clear they’re not being polite, so it’s fair game to block them

Mary BranscombeIt’s fair game to block anyone any time; this is more of a giant flapping red flag
1soap 😁yeah i guess it's just different kinds of friction
though i still think the feature would be better implemented as notification control
1 5goeo like theyeah. i genuinely think i should get to talk about your public post with my own followers, even if you don’t want me to
1 2 7🍁 thankful frood 🦃This doesn’t prevent people from talking about what you post at all though
1 3goeo like theit lets you make their quote posts not work for their own followers

Kuba Suder 🇵🇱🇺🇦Not retroactively though, I think?
1 3🍁 thankful frood 🦃Oh I assumed it was since he compared it to a one-off block
2 3🍁 thankful frood 🦃Right but that’s not the same as preventing people from talking about your post
1 3goeo like thea quote post is basically that, no?
