I know I'm a broken record on this, but I so wish Mastodon had a simple mechanism similar to quote-retweeting.

For me a lot of the fun of Twitter is using someone else's thought as a jumping point for starting a conversation with mutuals/followers.

Direct-replying is great if you want to join a conversation in someone else's community, but that's not always what I want to do.

I remember Twitter when quote retweets were manual, and I felt like I had to really force myself to scan headlines for something to talk about and then bring that to Twitter if I wanted a presence there.

I did it, bc I wanted to use Twitter for my organizing, but it was so unfun.

@gwensnyder we do what's needed.
Too bad those folks who used to have to wait for the tubes in the radio to warm up before they could hear the Fireside Chat aren't around to laugh at this.
I remember while I was in HS, telling my parents that TV would be interactive, and mounted flat on the wall.

It is far easier to get these technological changes than the kind of changes we want and need.
