@BrianSmith950 @Edent the above post that I linked, seems to argue that it wasn't... Because the fediverse already had quotes, and adding a separate permission systems to control quote seems to have just made interop difficult, without substantial benefits.
OTOH other people are arguing that the spec is well-thought

So, maybe these are only teething issues? 🤷
@BrianSmith950 @Edent uh, this seems quite broken :/ (no clickable link to the original post :/)
I mean, I think that a quote should be equivalent to "link + preview". If the post is accessible/public/federation is working, the preview should work
If the preview isn't working, it should at least gracefulky degrade to a link (and if the author didn't mean this content to be read, it should then be non-public).
Was the mastodon.social impl of quoting a good idea?
