If you’re testing a bunch of #Mastodon apps, remember to revoke permissions for ones you don’t plan to use anymore.

Oh no, don't tell me this is an app that turns a toot into an image to post it and call it a "retoot" because the main branch of Mastodon doesn't support quotes...

Images take much more space than text and it seems it doesn't even add the caption...

Please no, use an instance that support quotes if you need them (they would appear as a normal toot with a link to the quoted one).

@Gargron said they are thinking to introduce quotes in Mastodon but the feature has been there for a while in some instances and backward compatible as I said. This is how people solved it in the spirit of this ecosystem.

So it doesn't justify clogging servers with images (you can use text + links instead) and moreover without captions, which is an accessibility feature deemed important on Mastodon.
