Mastodon is the kind of place where if I made a shitpost like:
You can tell the difference between leaded and lead-free solder by tasting it
So many of you would get mad as hell and probably report me and even consider making a fediblock post, but you wouldn’t do the sensible thing and quote tweet it because you’re too cowardly to have that kind of callout culture
(Feel free to quote tweet this!)
@recursive if I was mad about this, what good would QRTing it do
but also this is just a fact that is true; same as how you can tell how high-quality crude oil is by tasting it
@rcombs I still have a belief that QRTs in old-Twitter were socially-corrective in many cases
They were shitty sometimes, but they did have some more social power than the mastodon style of "I'm going to go obscurely post screenshots somewhere to tell you how horrible someone is today and why you should shun them forever"
