(quotegates coming soon)

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’d be similar to a block except one-off

nothing, it’s just friction

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

why not just stop getting pings for it and allow people to talk about it with their own followers
