Let’s be honest most people have no idea this bridge is going to exist. So, they can’t opt-in. If nobody opts-in, you won’t be able to search for them by their ActivityPub handles. The bridge isn’t useful. People on both sides who would like to reconnect with their friends won’t be able to. However, if you know you hate BS, you can add the bridge to your personal block list and it isn’t an issue for you.

    Copy and paste is possible, anywhere, always, yes.

    Difference: copy & paste will not leave a trail to your original post, a link will.

    #Mastodon was supposed to have quote posts last summer. Then @Gargron@mastodon.social sent a lengthy explanation that resources had to be recomitted to fix backend features. Since, I haven’t heard anyhting new regarding this, but I have not searched for it either.

      Actually, it can. I can manually type your handle and what you said and it will reference you. Just mentioning someone’s handle such as @HistoPol@mastodon.social references them (i.e. @HistoPol)
