There better be a way to tell Mastodon I never want to be notified of quotes. How hard is this for others to understand? I don’t want to be notified if anybody quotes me, at all! To me, quotes are seen as a passive aggressive form of interaction and if you can’t message me directly/mention me directly, I simply just don’t want to interact with you if you’re going to quote me.

With the 4.3 release complete, we’re turning our focus to 4.4, which will include:

Quote Posts: We are resuming work on this long-awaited feature, and it will be our main focus for the rest of the year.
Block list improvements: We are evaluating several improvements, including subscribing to external blocklists and offering an optional default “worst of the worst” blocklist for new Mastodon installs. We’re also exploring ways for operators to approve blocks from external lists.
Post Parsing: We’re experimenting with potentially changing to a new parser for posts, which will be more modular and enable features like basic text formatting.

I think the theory is you'd have to approve to allow others to QP, so if you don't like it (which I also don't) can turn it off.
