Anil@taylorlorenz the link previews thing is complicated because retrieving the data for them is decentralized, meaning each instance (and sometimes, each *app*!) is hitting the website for the preview info. It’s often been omitted because it can knock small websites offline just dealing with serving previews when a popular user shares a link.
Jay Rosen@anildash I agree with Taylor about quote posts. Basic tool of press criticism for me.
Steven L. Johnson@jayrosen_nyu @anildash As a non-press user, I find QT useful to contextualize content I want to amplify in a way that it is appealing to my followers. I don't know of any simple way to accomplish that for "Toots"

1) Snip to screenshot
2) Paste
3) [...] button to copy link
4) Paste
