Exactly, and link-pasting is exactly what I've done ever since I got on #Mastodon
#QuotePosting was an enormous #MoralPanic about four years ago because #Twitter had it and #Mastodon didn't and all the big techy-bro rags convinced #Gargron that he was discouraging new migrants from Twitter because Mastodon didn't have #QuotePosts
Took 'em about three years to do it, and everyone pretty much ignored quote posts when they were finally implemented, a lot because people could opt-out if they wanted and no one took them seriously
IMO, YMMV...

something that wasn't clear to me and perhaps of interest to others about #quoteposts
i knew this:
in your preferences you can change the setting to allow #quoteposting on your toots globally. to anyone/ followers only/ or just yourself
but i didn't know you could also do it per post
so you might allow anyone to quote post you, as a general policy
but then on one particular post of yours you may disallow a #quotepost as you see fit
