I know some people making the #TwitterMigration may be missing the quote tweet option, but @Gargron explained the reasoning behind not having it quite well. I was just thinking about this because I saw someone on the other site tweet a very bad take and he got QTed, which led to some piling on. If he hadn’t been QTed, many wouldn’t have seen it. Here I find it a bit easier to just pass that stuff by or not see it at all. Definitely a less reflexive anger-inducing experience

@SarahOestreich @Gargron Agreed. Subtweets are immature enough without the harm that hostile quote-tweeting can do. I liked to amplify & support other people by using it in a friendly way, but I’m happy to forego that in order to see the yucky ones go away. I HAVE seen a fair bit of subtooting going on since joining Mastodon, though, I must say. More than I tended to see it in my lovely little birdsite circle.

@chozari yeah there are always pros and cons with any feature (or lack thereof), but at least right now I’m okay with no QTing
