Robin from Colorado 🇺🇸🇺🇦Advice to new #Mastodon users: Follow at least 200 people and you will have a far better experience. Curate those people and you’ll have an excellent experience. The engagement here is really good, but you have to put in a little work at first. Also the lack of the quote tweet function is fantastic. It lends itself to a much healthier culture. No ganging up. No toxic trolling. So far that’s been my experience. #twitterPurge
Lynn_from_OK@robinbrenizer That was never my experience. I often used the quote function to say things like, "What a sweet kitty," or, "This is one of my favorite paintings. I love the [what I like about it]," or "I have read this book several times. It's one of my favorites." Not being able to do that is a serious restriction.
Sue W@uppityokie @robinbrenizer Agree. It is very restricting. Quote tweeting (or quote posting) allowed one to customise and add one's own thoughts rather than just retweeting (or reposting). Must admit, I really do miss the quote tweeting function on this platform (although I really like the rest of the platform)
@SueW251161 @robinbrenizer It's easy to get used to the way things are and forget the way things used to be, as I did until a little while ago. The other site didn't always have the Quote feature. People used to do it manually by copying and pasting. I don't want to be the first one to do it here because inside I am still the little girl who's afraid of getting in trouble.
