Let's just say I'm a bit critical about that because, in my opinion, it doesn't work in the Fediverse.

Sorry, but that's non-sense. At least for anything that goes significantly beyond a real-life cat photo.
If you describe an image through a phone, you describe it to one person. Usually a person whom you know, so you've at least got a rough idea on what they need described. Even more importantly, you can ask that person what they want to know about the image if you don't know. And you get a reply.
If you describe an image for a public Fediverse post, you describe it to millions of Fediverse users and billions of Web users. You can't know what they all want, nor can you generalise what they all want. And you can't even ask one of them what they need described before or while describing, much less all of them. In fact, you can't ask at all. And yet, you have to cater to everyone's needs the same and throw no-one under a bus.
If I see a realistic chance that someone might be interested in some detail in one of my images, I will describe it. It won't be in the shorter description in the alt-text; instead, it will be in the long description which I've always put directly into the post so far, but whose placement I'm currently reconsidering. If something is unfamiliar enough to enough people that it requires an explanation, I will explain it in the long description.
Right now, only meme posts are an exception. They don't need as much of a visual description as long as I stick to the template, and a poll has revealed that people do prefer externally linked third-party explanations over my own ones blowing the character count of the post out of proportion. This is the one time that I can safely assume that I actually know what most people want.

Mostly, just imagine you’re telling your friend over the phone about image you’re looking at and what they would need to know.

You can't describe images in Fediverse posts like over the phone
Allegedly, a "good" advice for image descriptions is always to describe images like you'd describe them to someone on a landline phone.Sorry, but that's non-sense. At least for anything that goes significantly beyond a real-life cat photo.

Just read this now. There are times when the #mastodon feels like it's lacking a #quotetoot feature for sure. Especially when engaging with news or RSS accounts; a reply seems pointless, but then boosting w/o comment doesn't always add much either.
OTOH I do wonder if it would change communication on here, given how the #QuoteTweet often came to be used. I'd like to think it wouldn't devolve into point-scoring.

Hmmm. This thread has gotten virtually zero engagement.
Perhaps I stand alone in these opinions?
Does all of the Fediverse want Quote Toots?
Does no one else see the downsides?
Replied in thread
Mastodon already has controls to suppress your follower's boosts. So there may be some new controls built around the new QT feature when it arrives. But if the default is to show QT's to everyone, our entire community becomes ripe for manipulation.
Why would anyone want this?
Continued thread
QTs are not an algorithm, but they serve as an indirect form of manipulation. It's easy to foresee trolls posting extremist/offensive views here along with the subsequent deluge of folks QT'ing the trolls, dunking on the original poster, and unwittingly helping to spread the extremist filth.
I think I read recently the Quote Toot (QT) feature is coming to Mastodon. The decision has been made--it's coming, and there's no going back.
I'm really dejected about this.
One of the foundational features of Mastodon is that there is no algorithm pushing posts into your feed that you didn't ask for. On platforms that do, those that control the algorithm control the means of manipulation.

@Matthias Die Quote-Posts an sich vielleicht nicht. Möglicherweise übernehmen sie dieselbe Technologie wie Misskey, weil Threads die auch hat.

I mean, I could propose to Mike, Mario and Harald to automatically remove the Share button under any and all posts and comments from Mastodon, just to see their reactions.
But as a matter of fact, Pleroma and Akkoma can quote-post Mastodon toots just the same. The same goes for Misskey and its over 50 forks, including but not limited to JavaScript-based Iceshrimp which won't get any new features, Iceshrimp.NET which isn't officially released yet, Sharkey, CherryPick and Catodon. And Friendica can quote-post Mastodon toots, too.
Several dozen Fediverse server projects can quote-post Mastodon toots. They all would have to change. Or they all would have had to change the moment that it was decided that Mastodon lacks quote-posts to protect its users rather than to stay simple.
That has been Mastodon's track record since its very inception. I won't believe that anything has changed about this until Mastodon actually implements technology introduced by another Fediverse server project.

Mastodon decided against quote posts so far, so Hubzilla and (streams) should not allow quoting Mastodon posts.

And where are you reading that Mastodon will reinvent the wheel? To me it reads like they are working on Fediverse-wide interoperability for these features.

It's much more a matter of technology.
Mastodon is about to completely re-invent the wheel with a non-standard, Mastodon-only setting. This setting will only work within Mastodon simply because it probably won't even be documented anywhere, especially not before it's officially rolled out.
There simply is no way that every last instance of Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey, Calckey, Firefish, Iceshrimp, CherryPick, Catodon, Meisskey, Tanukey, Neko, dozens of other Misskey forks, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), Forte etc. etc. will have that setting implemented before Mastodon rolls it out so that even the users on mastodon.social are perfectly safe from the first second on.
Besides, @Mike Macgirvin
, creator of Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte and still the only maintainer of the latter two, will never introduce proprietary Mastodon features to them. He'd rather risk (streams) and Forte becoming incompatible with Mastodon. The same goes for @Mario Vavti and @Harald Eilertsen, Hubzilla's main maintainers.
If Mastodon wants to become a perfectly safe haven against unallowed quote-posting, it has only got one choice: It must introduce something like (streams)' and Forte's user agent filter and use it to block just everything that isn't Mastodon. Like, include a hard-coded allowlist that only includes Mastodon plus what little can't quote or quote-post anyway.

@PaulaToThePeople @Stefan Bohacek Keep one thing in mind:
Mastodon may not have quote-posts yet. But the Fediverse has quote-posts right now. And it has had them since before Mastodon was made.
Pleroma, Akkoma, Misskey, Calckey, Firefish, Iceshrimp, CherryPick, Catodon, Meisskey, Tanukey, Neko, dozens of other Misskey forks, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), Forte etc. etc., they all have quote-posts. They're all fully capable of quote-posting any Mastodon toot.
None of them has introduced quote-posts to harass Twitter refugees on Mastodon. At least Friendica and Hubzilla have had quote-posts since long before Mastodon was even made.
At least by Mastodon users.
But since this will be Mastodon re-inventing the wheel with brand-new, proprietary, Mastodon-only technology, everything I've listed above will still be able to quote-post anyone and anything on Mastodon with zero resistance.
To quote-post myself and the guy who invented Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte:
Jupiter Rowland schrieb den folgenden Beitrag Sat, 20 Jul 2024 01:29:11 +0200 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.

Mike Macgirvin schrieb den folgenden Beitrag Sat, 20 Jul 2024 03:18:39 +0200 The closest you'll ever get to making Mastodon un-quote-postable is to post privately. Not unlisted. Private. Most fediverse software will honour this today; and it doesn't require yet another "pretend permission". Like unlisted.
And Mike should know. He brought things to the Fediverse like actually working permissions. Including permissions on two levels to quote-post any content on a channel. Readily available right now at least on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte.
Also, this is what people on Friendica and its descendants have been using quote-posts for since 2010.
You already are when someone on Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) or Forte quote-posts one of your posts.
As for Pleroma, Misskey and their forks, you aren't notified right now, and I've got my doubts that you will be after this change.
Also, "quote" and "quote-post" are two different things. Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte can do both. "Quote" is what I'm doing right here. Whether or not you're notified depends on whether or not you're mentioned.
And blocking quotes is even less possible. A quote only consists of a pair of BBcode tags plus the quoted text in-between. And on Friendica and all its descendants, you don't work with a WYSIWYG editor by default, but you have to get your hands dirty on raw markup code.
Again, probably not if someone on Pleroma, Misskey or one of their forks quote-posts you.
And definitely not if someone on Friendica or one of its descendants quote-posts you.
The difference is that a quote-post on Pleroma, Misskey or one of their forks is actually a reference to the original. On Friendica and its descendants, a quote-post is an automatically generated dumb copy of the original.

Fascists don't care how many people must suffer and die as they act out their sick fantasies, which they need to promote in order to keep their followers mesmerized and distracted.
And I cannot help but think of chapter 13 in Revelation:
And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast. 4 And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can fight against it?”
5 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling,[a] that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them.[b] And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, 8 and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.

With the "shutdown" of USAID, the State department has ordered an emergency evacuation of all staff from over a hundred countries by Saturday. In their wake they will leave massive chaos. USAID feeds 53 million people a year, among other things. Many, many people are dying because of this, and many countries will never trust the US again.
USAID is a major part of American international soft power. The damage that this is causing can only be described as treasonous, even ignoring the human cost.
To be clear, this evacuation is impossible. Doing it from one country is very hard. Doing it everywhere all at once, even with all available military airlift assets, cannot happen. Regardless, on whatever schedule they do do this, this is not a normal international move. They are telling staff who in some cases have been in country for decades or who expected to be their for the rest of their careers that they have 48 hours to pack suitcases and leave everything else they own behind, to return to a country where they have no where to live and no job.
But then, that's the point.
