@mattymedlyn @rezzyreksya I think moderation is more meaningful than the feature's existence.

https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20673 has a discussion on ways it could be implemented with more control for the original author.

We can already link to a post and links to non-Mastodon posts are already shown with a preview.

My preferred default implementation would be for quote posts to be allowed, but quoting authors with more followers than the original author would need confirmation to expand the quoted post.
