Gregory's Server@twit_terrorist @Gargron I could think of a few options to mitigate the unwanted effects:
- option to choose it a toot can be quote posted (plus a user default setting)
- make quote posts visible/traceable in the original post to keep the communication consistent, to have a consistent view over the whole topic

@ceha @twit_terrorist @Gargron Fully agree with your concerns about quoted posts and I understand that this is the main reason why it's not implemented. But maybe there's a way to integrate them with the original post - that's what I had in mind when talking about a "consistent view". I agree that they should not "slip away". |
@mr_huffle @twit_terrorist @Gargron Being on a platform which intentionally does not have fulltext search (or did I miss something recently?), I am still very worried that quoted toots might open the gate for 'invisible discussions' about the author and not with the author.
I have so much doubt this can be done safely, it feels like nuclear power: nice if it worked, but dramatic if it has any tiny flaw, so it seems smarter to me just not to do it.
