It is based on [FEP-e232](https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/e232/fep-e232.md ), on top of which they add a quote control mechanism. I believe that quote controls in decentralized network don't make much sense, and currently I have no plans to implement them, but from a technical perspective, the design is quite good. Hopefully it stays that way
