The most hilarious thing about the ongoing QT debate On Here is the implied assumption that introducing QTs to mastodon will result in a similar use case for QTs on twitter.
I say that this is hilarious because it ignores things like federation, like content moderation, like the fine grained control that moderators and instance admins have over content on their instances.
In short, it assumes that the tool will function the same way in the mastodon ecosystem as it does on twitter.
