But that's exactly why I would want QT, because it's often not clear what interests us about a post we want to boost, and a QT lets us speak volumes by amplifying the interesting part.
The intentional lack of #QT in #Mastodon prevents us from giving context to help others see through our eyes the beauty and value in someone's post.

We do have a lot of characters to make things clear. Maybe you need a server with bigger limit instead? I know one with 9000. No qt definitely does not _limit_ giving context. It might make it simpler, tho.
@sevignes @supernovae
Character limits and QT are different issues.
Well, except that at the moment the standard Mastodon character limit on QTs is zero :)
But it'd be an advance even to implement QTs with a small limit, even say 20 characters, just enough to highlight the reason the original quote is worth boosting.
@volkris
They are obviously different issues, but you raised the context as the issue, and it can be solved by just giving the context.
