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.
Pseudo Nym@kristinHenry @film_girl @paul The primary value I see in quote-posts, is the ability to add commentary/context. If I really need to, I can "copy link" and paste it.
Like this:
https://mastodon.social/@film_girl/109759044241043089
So I get the primary value, commentary, for two addition taps.
But while I see the utility, I agree with the current Mastodon way, that twitter-style quote-tooting, on balance, is a net negative.
Engage and reply to the original poster is better.
