Mastodon rolls out quote posts with protections to prevent ‘dunking’

The decentralized option of the X is turning a somewhat controversial feature by adding quotes posts, adding quotes posts, which will be launched next week. The feature, which lets a user quote someone else’s post and re -divide them with their own response or commentary, “contributed to the culture of”Right“X -on, where users often ridicule other people by responding to snarks or disrespectful humor.

To solve this concern, Mastodon says it is implementing quotes posts with security control.

These safety are designed to allow quotes posts to be liable to use, “to expand the discussion, create new connections and widen the underpressant voices”, designed on the platform.

Mastoadon gives users different ways to control how to quote their posts. For starters, the platform allows users to decide who you can quote them through a setting where you can change your default. Here, you can set permissions for “anyone,” “” simply follower, “or” simply “or” me simply “. In addition, you can control a setting called “Shant Public” that makes the quotes public in public to be visible to the public, to make the visibility of the quotation posts public, but they remove the exploration, tendency and public timeline.

Users will be able to override their default settings on a post-post-post basis if necessary by navigating the “visibility and interaction settings” within the composer screen. If you know that you are going to say something controversial or something that is going to say something that can draw unwanted attention from opposing views, it will be effective.

Also, users will keep control of their posts even after the users are quoted, explaining the Maston Blog post about the new feature.

When someone quotes a post, the user is quoting the application and they may choose to remove their original post from another person’s quote post. This is accessible through the alternative menu (three dots icons). From this position, users can change the quote settings to move forward to any future quote in their post. They can also block users to see and prevent them from quoting their posts in the future.

Support for quotes posts will first appear on greater mastodon servers in the week mastodon.online And Mastodone.CokialThe It will then be available on Mast Road’s 4.5 software update.
