@dbrgn @Gargron I absolutely respect your opinion however I stand by my words and opinion. I will note that the majority of quote posts happening on twitter are used in an inflammatory manner or to cause enrage posters. As a twitter user with over 800000 followers (because of who I am - not same handle there) I've witnessed the degradation of Twitter with use of quote postings. Again as stated its my opinion and I respect your opinion on the matter. #Respect

@RealSolo @Gargron thanks for the respectful tone! I mostly replied because "the ones demanding it are all from twitter" is a very generalizing statement that implies that *all* people who want this feature are people that recently migrated over from twitter, and who want mastodon to work just the same. and I disagree with that.

I do see why some people prefer not to have quote toots, so let' agree to disagree 🙂 I think they'd be net-positive for the ecosystem.

@RealSolo @dbrgn @Gargron

I really would like to see evidence for that claim.

I do not deny that quoted tweets are use for inflammatory reasons.
But I do not see any indication that this is the case for the majority of such posts.
