Another problem with Mastodon's quote posts is that it's so fucking useless that I think I've only had one person actually quote a post of mine (even though all my posts are open for quoting), and I see very few "native" Mastodon quotes out there (rather than coming from Bluesky bridge or *key), so I have no clue how they function.

Like, if I quote a post that @s somebody, does the quote also notify them, or is it only limited to the original poster? And do replies to the quotes also tag the person @ed in the quoted post?

And do the pseudo-quote UI that shows for posts that pasting a link into the body notify the linked author even though it's not a real quote post? (I suspect this is true because I've had artists that don't follow me fav posts where I link to them. And if it is true that's the shittiest fucking design in an already shittily designed feature)
