Wondering if this is a #QuotePost sighting, a real one, in the wild...
Seen a couple of them, last few days
Supposedly no #Mastodon instance is live yet to be able to create Quote Posts -- needs to be an instance > v4.5.*

This is my first "official" Mastodon-style quote-post.
Although, quote-posting has existed on the Fediverse for years now — on Misskey, on all the Misskey forks (ex: Firefish), on Pleroma, on the Pleroma forks (ex: Akkoma), on Mitra, on Hollo, on Friendica, etc.
Plus, people have been doing screen-shot style quote-posts on Mastodon (and other places on the Fediverse), too, for years.

Should you have to have permission to QUOTE-POST someone else's post?
Should you have to have permission to REPLY TO someone else's post?
(Add any explanation in the comments.)

so, am testing the #quoot or #quotepost feature in the app and it’s working.
been using it by opening posts in a browser, so it’s nice that i can do it directly from the #android app. i almost exclusively toot from my tablet these days.
the thing is… this isn’t a quoted post à la Twitter.
all we had to do was to copy & paste a link to the tweet for it to appear embedded with the javascript & html magic of the Oembed protocol.
what @MastodonEngineering created here is something else… 🧵
