I thought Mastodon's quote post controls were extensive...these are "boundaries" that can be set in Bonfire for your posts. Not to mention the roll your own "Custom Boundaries". Mix and Match!
I question how these boundaries federate, are they honored across platforms?
GoToSocial has some reply controls that basically just drop replies you don't want. So other platforms may not honor the request and still send them, but they are just ignored. I'm sure similar here.

@box464 we started drafting a section on "how do boundaries federate" in this document: https://docs.bonfirenetworks.org/boundaries.html
The short story is we interoperate with Mastodon's newly introduced canQuote and and GoToSocial's canReply/canLike/canAnnounce for general boundaries like only follows can reply or everyone can quote, and for everything else it's enforcement at the level of your instance (e.g. "basically just drop replies you don't want"). Feedback on that and on the docs as well is more than welcome!

Yes. Anyway, this wasn't anything I called for and I wish I hadn't been pulled into it.

@eyeinthesky @maikel You're right about that. Add in the lack of tools for building and testing ActivityPub, JSON-LD baggage, and HTTP signatures insanity, and it's amazing that anything gets built at all :)
Fortunately, it looks like some real progress is being made, so hopefully 2026, 2027, and 2028 will bring the community together with better tools and specs, and give devs (even the big one) good reasons to improve compatability.
