One of the best features of Mastodon is the lack of quote-tweeting. I'd forgotten how great that was. And unfortunately for Twitter, it's a feature that they'll never be able to copy.

@paulg there is a workaround though.... Where you can copy paste the link to tweet. Haven't seen many ppl use it though. Quote tweeting is discouraged by design because ppl feel it encourages unnecessary pile ons

@paulg one more thing... That surprised me as well.

They do not have free text search. People navigate via hashtags . Apparently that's also by design.

You may not have an issue with it (large account) , but if you do talk about a topic, it would be really helpful for people if you tag it.

Eg: you could start a #PressByPaulg for just your press answers... And journalists could follow just that hashtag .
