@amyhoy @natematias @dansinker @jessamyn @danhon @ryanrandall @darius maybe there's a solution here where the original post author can sign their post with a "this is allowed to be QTd" flag of some sort, and well behaving clients can then refuse to render QTs of posts that don't have that flag

@simon @amyhoy @natematias @dansinker @jessamyn @danhon @ryanrandall speaking as, I think, the only highly experienced ActivityPub dev on this thread, Simon is right, this kind of permission granting is anywhere from extremely hard to impossible in the ActivityPub model unless you just want to set a flag that says "please respect this flag and don't allow your users to QT".

But crucially: that may be enough! It's how "unlisted" posts work.
