Mastodon 4.5 is set to launch this week and there's something you should know:
All you need to quote a toot is to paste the link of said toot. Or, of course, you can use the boost button and select "Quote".
But pasting a link also works, automatically. If the author allows to be quoted, the toot will appear in the compose field. If not, it'll be just a simple, plain link.
In the end, both paths lead to the same destination: to quote a toot. And, if the author allows quotes, this will generate a notification to them.
So it's important to know that this also works with private mentions, aka DMs.
Even if you don't mention the author's profile (user@instance.tld), if you simply paste a link to their post, and they allow quotes, they will be notified.
If they don't allow quotes, it'll be just a simple and plain link, and no notification will be sent to them.
So be careful not to end up mentioning someone in a DM without the intention of doing so.
They'll be able to see the DM content where the link was pasted, as if you'd have mentioned them explicitly. But it was just a quoted toot.
Let's see what they say about this: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/36685

@cadusilva what the fuck
@Ember @cadusilva to be clear, we're grateful for this being pointed out, and working on ways to improve and avoid this.

E vabbé, me la tiri proprio fuori!

@halcy I think another part is gratitude. You can curse your luck that you lost your hat, or feel lucky that it was there when you came back.
If you have four walls and a roof, three squares a day, good friends and family, a bit of transcendent joy every so often, that can feel incredibly lucky.
If you are always comparing and judging by what others have, you'll never feel lucky because you'll always find someone who has more or better than you.

@evan that's what I said

@halcy another part of being lucky is being the kind of person that people go the extra mile for. A lot of that is privilege, and some of that is attitude. If you leave your hat on the table at the restaurant, a big part of whether it's behind the counter when you come back, or if it went in the dumpster as soon as you left, is how you treated the staff. "Luck" is in part how much other people want good things to happen to you.

@trevorflowers apparently a bunch of electric scooters caught on fire. No casualties fortunately.
