Kim Crayton ~ Her/SheOk, one of the main Twitter features that I’m definitely missing is the quote retweet because it’s been an important and impactful teaching strategy…it enables me to highlight an issue/concern by adding often missing perspectives/voices/narratives/historical framing/etc
Stefan@KimCrayton1 more and more are speaking up about this as well.
@stefan “more and more are speaking up”? Do you mean that more users are requesting that this feature be added?
@KimCrayton1 yes. Originally it was excluded as a feature because folks though it promoted hateful behavior. Lots of bigger twitter accounts have come over like @taylorlorenz who have started strongly advocating for it to @Gargron who started the mastodon codebase.
@stefan @taylorlorenz @Gargron just shared this same sentiment https://dair-community.social/@KimCrayton1/109416449565751183

@[email protected] @[email protected] so again, nuance is missing related to such decisions but thanks for the clarity
JD Harvey@stefan @KimCrayton1 Don’t know if you follow @futurebird , but they’ve had excellent posts and discussions, pushing for it.
