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 What's wrong with quote-tweeting?
@mg @paulg It invites out of context “dunking” and boosts Tweets to someone else’s audience who has no idea who the original person is.

I used it from time to time to reference an older tweet of mine. That worked well for me:

“My hypothesis: Google dislikes pages that are not reachable via any internal links. So let's make an experiment and link Gnod Search from Gnod's front page ... https://t.co/A7M66icyUe ... and see how that impacts its position in the search results. #buildinpublic”

@mg @paulg yep, definitely not wholly bad. But IMO the cons outweigh the pros.
