One option would be anonymise+qt
As text is not searchable, it would be much less likely to dogpile. It is currently possible using cut and paste too.
@wrigleyfield @GreenFire @blaine @amirouche Thoughts please?

Maybe the best of all world is a QT option where the original author (the one being quoted) can decide whether to be anonymized or not (and can toggle this freely, not a one-time choice; so you could change if a dog-pile began).
In the ordinary course of things, if I write something that someone is interested in engaging with to the point that they want to create their own post commenting on it, I probably want my name on it!
@wrigleyfield @aug24 @GreenFire@climatejustice.social @blaine @amirouche you can basically already quote by just sharing a link like so https://fediscience.org/@wrigleyfield/109359348010728123
@wrigleyfield @aug24 @GreenFire@climatejustice.social @blaine @amirouche but has the rather odd property that you don’t get notified I did it, and doesn’t count as a boost for you
@elfprince13 @aug24 @GreenFire @blaine @amirouche Thanks! Is direct-linking a toot contrary to norms since it functions like a QT, or is it accepted practice? #NewHere
