After having to suffer through CA's earthquake posting for so long I suppose I can't blame NY for going hard on it when they have the rare chance to do it themselves.

Just trying to have a nice time. Currently based out of Indiana. I help keep a news site up and running at the day job.
Checking in on mastodon
Catherynne M. ValenteI just want to let everyone know that The Green Knight is inarguably a Christmas movie. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a Christmas story.

Anyway if you really want QTs, pay me and I'll make you an instance that does. I don't really have time for it so my rates are exorbitant, but my pipes seem to be froze so I need the money.
What is apparent about quote toots, good or bad, ramifications for server stress aside, is that implementation is just a bit of code and putting that code on your instance. That's it. The results will be entertaining but nobody's done it.
I've seen folk saying they should have QTs, but nobody saying they've coded them, or put them on their instance, or are willing to put them on their instance, or are offering to pay someone for the labor to do any of the above.
Katherine Alejandra CrossIt appears, at least in my little archipelago of Mastodons, that there's a Great Quote-Tweet debate happening.
One person I respect asked pointedly to see data that proved QTs were abusive. Since I've been researching affordances of social media platforms I pulled some bits and bobs out of my hideous pile of papers and thought I'd share some insights with y'all about this question.
Cards on the table: I think QTs are a net negative. But nothing's ever simple.

Bad ol' Elon wouldn't cut him no slack
