@davidaugust @Gargron @abies77 @sirsean This. You never...

This. You never know how people run away with a toot. It can be fun, it can also be toxic. I rarely miss it. I like it non-toxic.

So definitely opt-in, if at all. I don't see how one could retract once fired, other than by deleting the toot.

Also, I think the higher demand is skewed by the latest wave of refugees from the birdsite. Lots of multifollower journalists and influencers. Eager to rebuild multifollower again. By quoting. Nah. Don't wanna.

@RolfBly @davidaugust @Gargron @sirsean I do agree. Deletion is clearly your only option when something really toxic happens with your post.

It would definitely be fine for me too not having this new option.

@RolfBly @davidaugust @Gargron @abies77 @sirsean everybody thinks an app has "made it" when the journalists come, but I've truly begun to believe they actively ruin things. It's not about news, it's about journalists needing to be celebrities

Yes. Although I have to add, there are also a few journalists I would really miss if the birdsite disappears & they wouldn't migrate here. One should never generalise..

@RolfBly @davidaugust @Gargron @abies77 @sirsean it really should be possible to remove your post from a QT. There should be a control for that.

I think my preferred default would be people you follow can QT, or something similar: opt-in for global QTs, opt-out for none at all.
