Mastodawn

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.

@gwensnyder I hadn't seen it phrased like that, replies versus QTs and which community they address. That makes a lot of sense!

(Last I heard QTs were on the roadmap for Mastodon but I don't have a sense if or when they'll actually happen)
