       It won’t work. (Dunking on mastodon here, not Don. ) https://techhub.social/@BrentD/115197950000197643

       @adamshostack It already doesn't work because almost every other micro-blogging platform in Fediverse supports quote posts and no one outside of Mastodon pretends that they can control previews of posts.

       The issue is you cannot control clients. The clients are under the control of the people who write them and are on the far side of a boundary from you. Maybe you can limit (at the server) posts that contain links to other posts, images of other posts, url shortners that link to other posts, but you’re in an arms race and you’re not deploying effective controls.

       Another way to say this: What, precisely, is the policy language or algorithm you're going to deploy, and where will it be enforced?
