My preferred default implementation for quote posts on Mastodon would be for quote posts to be allowed, but quoting authors with more followers than the original author would need confirmation to auto-expand the quoted post. It would hinder punching down / ratio-ing.

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

- Other fediverse servers and clients already support previewing linked/quotes posts.
