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
George Dinwiddie@KimCrayton1 I understand that quote retweets can be used to harass people, but I found them very valuable for forking a conversation to talk about a side issue without hijacking the original. The author of the quote tweet could follow the side conversation, or not, as they chose. To my mind it was a lot more polite that screenshotting.
@gdinwiddie absolutely! My use of screenshots was limited to providing context for callouts. I shared them because folx who open their mouths when they'd be better off scrolling past and staying silent, often realize this fact too late and try to erase their nonsense WITHOUT acknowledging or attempting to make amends for the harm they inflicted.
Sasha Costanza-Chock@KimCrayton1 @gdinwiddie hi @kimcrayton! Nice to see you on the 'Don!
Re: QT, just a note that QTs originally were a User Innovation on the birdsite, only appeared as a button later. Remember we used to just put "our comment, QT @username, link to their post" ! We could try that here for now? Or do the comment, then boost, that others suggested
