Allow quote renoting even if the user of the target post blocks you #12847

Open temtemy opened 10 months ago

Summary

Currently when you quote someone's post and that someone is blocking you, Misskey is preventing you from publishing your renote. This shouldn't be the case.

Purpose

It makes sense to prevent replies and simple renotes as those are interactions with the user. However it doesn't make sense to prevent quote renotes, as arguably they aren't really interactions (especially once the user blocks you) since they are their own posts.

It doesn't really prevent quoting in general anyway, because there are methods to circumvent this arbitrary limitation, which are simply linking to the post at the end in a new top-level note, or screenshoting the post. Both of which may actually be worse at giving context to the audience if that's the concern.

Do you want to implement this feature yourself?

The same can be said for notes with followers-only visibility. Therefore, such activities should be prohibited in the Terms of Use.

Except that's different because those notes aren't visible when logged out or logged in as a user that doesn't follow that account. So linking to it (which Misskey technically does in the eyes of say Mastodon) will not violate expectations of privacy. The renote button is already disabled in the UI anyway for those kind of notes and I am not complaining about it.
