Christina WarrenI 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 users invented the RT/QT for a reason, you know?
keeps vis.social running@film_girl @paul If this was twitter, I'd probably QT this post and say something like...'mastodon avoided QT for reasons'...maybe address those reasons and stop trying to recreate twitter. It really was horrible.
We have an opportunity to rethink all of that, here, now. And build something so much better, together.
@kristinHenry @paul I mean, Twitter didn’t adopt it as a feature until 2012 or so. It was invented by users and then third-party apps to give additional context, nuance, detail, or to amplify in a way that wouldn’t get scrolled through. And yes, to dunk on people. Which still happens even without the feature.
@film_girl @paul 2012 was 11 years ago! Why should mastodon jump to support it after just a few months of migrations?
You can still do a QT here, you just have to go through the step of getting the link to the post you want to comment on.
The tech isn't the problem.
@kristinHenry @paul I don’t really care if Mastodon officially supports it or not. I just want an easier way to link to a post in the clients I use and to view the content without having to click or tap on something else. Quote tweets are just another interface for reblogging, something nearly every social network (inclusion Mastodon) has done for 15 years. The QRT button was introduced in 2015 but largely used before that and better displayed in third-party clients.
