Hey folks: Mastodon might get quote-toots as a feature. It might not. The folks who want the feature have reasonable, legit reasons to want it, and the people who are opposed to the feature have solid reasons they don't.

It's a tradeoff. Please let's not make it a crusade -- either way.

@fuzzychef I've been watching this current hot topic. If people want quote toots, this is an open source platform. Get to coding or pay someone to make it happen. You want it, get off your ass and go get it. I'm content with whatever this federation offers.
@Kschauer I was under the impression that the code had already been written, and the debate was about whether it was going to be merged.
@fuzzychef probably. Now if they pool their resources they can figure out their own server and problems associated there.
