I miss quote tweeting the most. I rarely abused it and I think the argument it was primarily used for abuse both devalues the real value of why USERS invented the quote tweet to begin with and gives too much power to the so-called abuse that could be better solved with better abuse/block tools.
@film_girl I really miss it too, I've tried to adapt to it, I really have but still miss it.

@paul @film_girl I kinda like an idea I saw a while ago, that we should replace QTs with a RT of the original with a specific reply in-line below it.

That'd give the original post more prominence and would hopefully encourage people to read the original neutrally *before* they see the reply of the re-poster.

@uliwitness @paul @film_girl I like this too, though there are some downsides as noted by @hildabast in this convo https://mastodon.social/@misc/109677887701292864
