Eugen RochkoI don't feel as strongly about quote posts as I did in 2018. Personally, I am not a fan, but there is clearly a lot of demand for it. We're considering it.
Toot Terrorist@Gargron I hope you don't add it, but if you do, at least give us the option to block quoted posts from people, please.
Jurjen Heeck 🍋@twit_terrorist @Gargron That, and the option to block my posts (individually) from being quoted.

One can simply link to a post, but the nicely formatted graph data doesn't display. I don't see the difference in linking to URL or quote posting. I think if you post something to a public website, others should be able to interact with that post. Turning off comments, muting, blocking are legit methods to control your personal experience, but pre-editorializing who can link to a public post I think goes too far.

@awarsing @jurjen_heeck @twit_terrorist @Gargron the difference is the immediate visibility of the content combined with, often as seen on Twitter, a call to pile-on or otherwise disparage the original post / author.
We see this happening a LOT on Twitter. We really don’t need to add routes for bullying and abuse here.
Jonasnuts@jurjen_heeck @wiredfire @awarsing @twit_terrorist @Gargron boosting gives it the same visibility. It’s not the features that are toxic, people are toxic, regardless of the features. I miss qrt a lot. I don’t want to be a mere booster, just an amplifier. I want to ad my vision and my context to it. I’m using link to the toot, and my comment. I’m very sorry that you had such a terrible timeline on the other side, with such horrible qrt. It was very different from my own experience.
MJ Ray@jonasnuts @jurjen_heeck @wiredfire @awarsing @twit_terrorist @Gargron if you want to add your vision to it, reply! Quote-tweets are mainly used by fragile egotists who can't bear to let someone else have the first word. The plus of being read first would be enough incentive to use quotes for bullying here too, algorithms or not.
@mjr to reply is to assume that the author is interested or can understand my reply. I don't take myself that seriously. If I see a recipe from Nigella, I want to boost it to my followers, with some tips of how I've made it work, using my mother tongue. Nigella is not interested in this. Why should I reply? I was a heavy user of qrt, on the other side, thank you for the kind, benevolent and non toxic "fragile egotists" :-) @jurjen_heeck @wiredfire @awarsing @twit_terrorist @Gargron
@jonasnuts @jurjen_heeck @wiredfire @awarsing @twit_terrorist @Gargron a reply makes no such assumption. It's only a reply, adding your context. It need not demand or expect response.
And I did also note “mainly” about the egotists. There are some arguably-useful reasons for quote-tweets, but the self-promoters dominate usage by far. The feature obviously encourages toxicity.
@mjr Well, we do not agree on what a reply should be used for. I'm replying to you, because we are having a debate about something. We are talking. Is all of a sudden, someone jumps in, using another language, or talking about something else, I would consider it very rude.
(No prob with the "egotists", many years of engaging online, pretty thick skin :-) @jurjen_heeck @wiredfire @awarsing @twit_terrorist @Gargron

@jonasnuts @jurjen_heeck @wiredfire @awarsing @twit_terrorist @Gargron OK, we disagree, on what replies are, what rude is, and that such self-imposed constraints should motivate addition of a toxic-incentive quote feature
@mjr well, this a diverse environment :-) We can disagree. The difference between us is that you want to limit my freedom, and I don't want to limit yours :-)
