@Gargron I think not having quotes is the best thing about here. On the bird site my time line was full of people quote tweeting the extreme right to rant about how bad they were. This massively increased the rights reach. Without quote toots my time line is calm and I can believe the human race is not totally lost

@apLundell @Beedazzled Yes, this is the point which worries me most, too. If there was a way to prevent it, I’d probably be fine with opt-in/opt-out quote posts. Problem is, the wackos are the ones who are definitely not going to opt out, and much of the conversation will once again be centered around them. @Gargron |

This is the biggest part of how quote-tweets damage Twitter.
It's a design choice that encourages people to amplify and accidentally normalize extremist wack-jobs.
Opt-out won't fix that.
