Rees 🦆Thanks to the people who explained the utility of QTs and why they might be useful to implement here in some form or other, it was a good conversation. Not so much to the person who resorted to personal attacks for daring to question the utility of their favourite Twitter feature. I thought this place was supposed to be different 🤷♂️
Oscar Zeta Gundam@ctrlaltrees You've probably heard of US tech writer Taylor Lorenz who every once in a while says QTs are an important part of her job to add context and then comments get extremely heated up.
I can see both sides of the argument - yes, the function has been a major factor in toxicity there, used a lot to drive dogpiling, but also to add context or say "hey this person is cool, give them a follow". Personally I think the feature should be implemented, but not as it is on twitter.
