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.

@jayrosen_nyu @anildash How about just replying to a post. Like this? I like the fact that Mastodon promotes conversation not amplification.

I think we all need to stop being twitterpated with the bird site's way of doing things.
I knew some day I'd get to use the word "twitterpated."
