Don’t quote (post) me on this.

Instagram boss Adam Mosseri posted that Threads users can now limit who can quote their posts.

Or so TechCrunch writes — Mosseri’s post seems to be gone, but the feature is there for me. If you have it too, you’ll see “Anyone can reply & quote” at the bottom when starting a new post to get the new options.

A screenshot of the new feature, with replies and quote posts limited only to those mentioned. At the top, it says the post won’t be shared with the fediverse because limits have been applied.
Limiting who can reply and quote turns off fediverse sharing.
