People on mastodon are like unmmm fuck you for wanting a feature like adding a comment to reblogs i will kill you and btw the purest of us despise such bourgeoisie ideas such as "ease". Gorgeous technopurity culture going on
"If you desire qrts you are on the side of harassment" helloooo I live for these insane takes tbh. We also shouldn't have "phone calls"
This post is from the same person lmao
@mothcub every social media site needs a feature that lets you do this
@mothcub Me, after all means of harassment have been removed from my body, leaving a creature completely unable to harass or be harassed
@mothcub
Me: Wants to harass mastodon users
Mastodon: Lol, no quote toots, do your worst
Me: In shambles, forced to confront the darkness within, walk away a better person
@mothcub But it's true that the quote tweet adds a lot of toxicity. You can remove the context of a discussion and push that to your audience. The extra step deescalates a lot. We don't have to be slaves of engagement here too.
@Larsenc yeah idk being able to DM can also be used to bully someone but I don't think the existence of being able to talk to other people is bad. It's not being a "slave to engagement" to wanna talk about a post someone else made. Like I just wanna QRT fun stuff and a comment, and it's like. A normal thing to do. Like at some point you may as well say we just shouldn't have an app at all because harassment is possible on them.
