@Gargron i see, but what's the best way to add a personal comment to a toot, that you wanna share with your network? link to the toot? copy it?

@Sylvhem but that’s without the possibility to add a personal message. I will just share the link from now on ...

@assbach No, I mean : you can answer the post than boost your answer :).

@assbach
1) Reply to a post
2) Add your commentary
3) Remove the mention
4) Post that, then boost that post

Posts remain linked, so context is preserved instead of having to click through 20 different quote links. (1/2)

This way, the other person doesn't get notified if it's just commentary that has nothing to do with them. But the thread is still there. (2/2)

@jos@freeradical.zone

@assbach I personally reply and then boost both posts (when applicable).

@assbach @Gargron Well, there's only one option that I can see, so just reply and boost your reply.

@assbach @Gargron screenshot the toot and add a comment to the picture

@assbach @Gargron your personal comment in the thread is what is seen by your followers. Depending on their client they may or may not have to click through to see parent context.

Your contribution is your commentary or boost.

There are times one doesn't want to contribute to a conversation, yet comment on it often negatively. The friction to doing that is a deliberate design decision.

In your followers timeline, if you Boost/reblog then comment they will appear in chronological order.
