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

Precisely stated.

Folk with larger followings can trigger their gang.

Imvho a normal reply below and a reblog of the post is still likely to be seen by your people but you run the risk of publicising more clearly your opponent's view ... tends to make you think before you post.
