I must admit that she almost convinced me by saying that, but my love for QPs is too strong. Anyway, read her thread. It's pretty enlightening.
@josemanuel i don't like QT's because they don't show up in Tusky. Seems like they did before or something, like "QT: <link-to-thread>", but for your toots, it just looks like you forgot to add a link or something
@2ck T-that's your reasoning? One app doesn't implement something and that's why we shouldn't use it? Wouldn't it be better if you asked Tusky developers for that feature instead? It's not that hard. Pleroma, Misskey and its derivatives have had it for years. Qoto even uses Misskey's implementation internally. It's only Mastodon that falls behind because they're prudes who think everybody is evil but themselves.
Anyway, this is the link to the thread I posted in case you missed it: https://masto.ai/@stavvers/109565784138787138
@2ck A preview helps you decide whether you're interested in what the link says or not without having to click on it. It also makes sense of the QP right away. Not to mention that, at least in the web UI, the link would open in the quoted post's instance, effectively bypassing any visibility restrictions (i.e., blocks) they might have set up for you. This means that QPs actually increase security.
@josemanuel it's not my "reasoning"--that makes it sound like far more consideration than I bothered to put in--but it's a reason. it's easy enough to post a link to a post and it displays in any client already
