Screenshot Quote Posting

By now you may have heard about the change eliminating the frustrating 16:9 cropping of posts in feeds (https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/110774797138668211).

One of the biggest implications of this change is that you can now quote post simply by attaching a screenshot of the original post. You can be confident that the quote post image will properly display everywhere and not cut off on the left, right, top or bottom.

Whatever you think about #QuotePosting, this is something we can now do.

@mastodonmigration it’s interesting people are afraid of quote posting because of its potential to be used abusively, but posting screenshots is way worse, the original poster has no idea it’s being done
