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

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

Bresci chi? E' una domanda a cui abbiamo cercato di dare
una risposta attraverso il racconto di una storia collettiva,
reale e immaginata. Una storia che ci sarebbe piaciuta vedei
raccontare nell'aula del tribunale in cui รจ stato condannato
Bresci o leggere sui libri di storia a scuola. La storia di un uomo
che tra "sopportare gli strali e i colpi di balestra di una fortuna
oltraggiosa o impugnare le armi contro un mare d'affanni
e contrastandoli por une a tutto", scelse la seconda strada,
andando fino in fondo e accettandone le conseguenze. E lo
fece non per amor proprio, nรจ per un senso di vendetta, ma
per giustizia e amore per una umanitร libera.5Eurini

La questione esce fuori poco e male. Di questi tempi poi... L'inseguimento di una ricchezza smisurata sta distruggendo il pianeta (ma questo รจ un dettaglio da fanatici ambientalisti no?), impoverisce la gente che viene spinta a consumare, consumare, consumare, comprare, comprare, comprare, con frenesia distruttiva. E se non hai, non vali. Naturalmente, manco a dirlo, la conoscenza viene relegata in un angolo perchรฉ รจ scomodissima.Praticamente siamo dei criceti in una ruota.
