Hmm, interesting. It seems #Mastodon changed something and starting from some version later than 4.2 bots might not be able to reply to posts they aren't explicitly mentioned in?

I have been thinking what it was #linkedin in the pre-crappy pre-influencer era, and it was jobs postings + professional networking + celebrating professional achievements.

If we look to build a "linkedin" in the fediverse, job postings could pretty much be (and it was for many years) forums, so #lemmy or #nodebb could achieve that. #lemmy could even foster professional discussions.

Celebrating could be #badgefed, and professional networking could happen inside #mastodon.

If you create a site with the 3, interconnected, reducing friction (e.g. single sign-on between the three) it could have some traction.

One can only dream.

This is my first issue on the #Mastodon repo 🙂 Now that quotes exist, I’m proposing a /quote intent to avoid copy-paste friction for users and integrations.

Thoughts?

I know this is already on Mastodon team's radar, but I do want to stress how important this feature is.

We won't get rid of the racism and the mansplaining on the fediverse overnight, but giving people control over their replies would significantly improve everyone's experience, and make this place a lot more inviting.
