People who complain about toxic uses: it's no different to someone talking crap about someone, then boosting that someone into their timeline for their followers to go after.

Quote toots / tweets aren't the problem. People are and moderation is a must.

@eniko Yeah, exactly. I really *don't* see removing a feature that has a great many uses, because it's also used for hating. It doesn't really improve anything, because people can still screenshot, reply and more ways to be bastards.

Just allow people to turn off seeing them and / or have a privacy setting to not have your posts quoted. Kinda a solved problem easily.
