Maybe Quote Boosts can be integrated with existing Boost functionality and APIs, and the choices given to the user can be extended from just "Show Boosts" and "Hide Boosts" to also include "Hide Boosts with Commentary"?
(I love that these are global and per-followee options.)
@hmans @twit_terrorist @Gargron In addition, two more things that resonated well with me in the recent discussion:
- Let users decide whether their Toots can be quoted or not, ideally on a per-Toot-basis. Power to the people!
- Put the commentary *under* the original post, so the "ownership" of the content/discussion is reflected.
I'm not in an urgent need of quoted Toots, but I guess if they are introduced here, we can do a lot better than the bird site.
