The debate about QTs is interesting because as far as I tell, all sides are correct.

• QTs let you introduce a topic to your followers w/ tailored commentary (Black Twitter is the best at this)

• They bring fame & attention to the worst people in the world

• They cause dogpiles

• They’re a great format for humor, which 🦣 needs more of

• They are often performative dunking “look at this loser”

• They let you address a side issue or add a different perspective w/o derailing the primary convo

@sbarolo and yet, all sides lead to the conclusion we should have the functionality, and be encouraged to use it judiciously. Abusus non tollit usum.

@xrlq not everyone comes to the same conclusion as you. Quod dixi dixi

@sbarolo Certainly everyone doesn't agree with my conclusion, else there wouldn't be a debate at all. However, while I personally agree with all six of your observations, I don't think most partisans on either side of the QT debate do. I have no doubt every pro-QTer would heartily agree with 1, 4 and 6 while every anti highlights 2, 3, and 5. Some in each camp might grudgingly acknowledge one or two of the the others, on a good day.
