@darius @jessamyn @dansinker @danhon I personally would love to see explicit consent built in to any kind of quote-boosting feature.

Perhaps a DM notification that would require the initial poster to approve a quote boost before it goes out?

It not only would give them power to approve, but also provide warning that they might want to lock down their accounts if they've been found by a group trying to brigade against them.

This second facet would hopefully act as a deterrent against bad-faith, weaponized decontextualization.

Should anyone be interested, here's a short thread with more of what I've been mulling over about this: https://hcommons.social/@ryanrandall/109553154946648210

@darius @jessamyn @dansinker @danhon I appreciate that you all are thinking these things through! You clearly have more experience than I do, and I'm not intending to assert that you particular folks haven't been careful.

I personally would truly want that sort of ping. That type of control over audience & levels of exposure is a huge part of why I have multiple accounts, some far more locked-down than others.

Perhaps that "ping me or don't" could be a question left up to each user & configurable in the account settings, in the same way that we can currently set defaults for each of our new posts to be public, private, etc?

@darius Definitely worth placing a copy of _Calling Bullshit_( https://www.callingbullshit.org ) next to that one.

…provided it's the uns*btle version of _Calling Bullshit_.
