robinsonmeyerOne thing you notice quickly after spending any time on Masto is that everyone on Twitter—especially high-follower accounts—writes their posts to be QTed. It’s not only the ubiquitous asides and defensiveness; it’s the topics that people choose and the content that they highlight. Tweets are written to anchor broader arguments and battles in a way that Masto posts are not.
Simon Willison@robinsonmeyer @harris that's a really interesting observation - and yeah, I do think I've been tweeting with much more of an eye to being quotable than here on Mastodon
It's so interesting how much the lack of quote tweets impacts user behaviour
