@Gargron thanks for clarifying your position on this. In my experience operating my own personal and professional project Twitter accounts, I have found quoting to be an indispensably useful tool. Particularly in the professional context, my usage of the feature is entirely constructive.

Under what conditions would you reconsider the implementation of quote toots? If a correct PR were put together by others than yourself? If that PR had overwhelming support by Mastodon users?

@cbeams @Gargron I recommend using a technology that does NOT support quoting. I value Mastodon's design decisions in this regard. Sending ❀️ to the developers.

@cbeams @Gargron @sotolf I've got admit, I didn't really know what "quoting a tweet" functionally meant - I've just read about it. Isn't it better to just boost ("retweet") and then reply to it? That feels much more human IMHO
Quote tweet feels like you're just saying "Hey, look what this person just said! Here are my thoughts about it..." when you really should just be engaging with the thread.
