Ok, 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

Yup. Most of Black Twitter used QRTs differently.

A lot of non-Black Twitter only saw it where accounts with millions of followers would pick on a small account to get their followers to dogpile.

Most of Black Twitter used it exactly as you described... The online equivalent of Black folk talking *to each other* about some nonsense that someone in a position of power said.

The problem here is that the non-Black folks don't believe the other use cases.
