I can't help but feel that:
The aversion to quote-toots is actually an admission of a lack of commitment to ridding mastodon of the sort of people who WOULD abuse it.

@Gigi I agree. I don't like technical solutions to social problems.

@Gigi Seems plausible but not necessarily a bad thing?

People behave differently depending on the incentives and affordances around them. There may be lots of people who _would_ give in to temptation and behave badly if there were QTs but _won't_ if there aren't.

(Dunno whether there actually are. Seems hard to tell.)
