Ariadne at Treehouse (who was in fact an early Pleroma developer) has quote-toots in Mastodon in live testing, with an eye to compatibility with the Misskey and Akkoma implementations, and she's done many years on the social sides of the issues with QTs and social software in general so I expect it won't suck. (I'm on a glitch-soc instance and my admin wants to add the Treehouse implementation as soon as it's done.)

so the Fediverse is interpreting Website Boy as damage and routing around him
