People who are desperate for the ability to “quote tweet” (because let’s face it, that’s what QT stands for) on Mastodon, and won’t settle for an embedded link are trying to make someone else’s post all about them. Discuss, with particular reference to journalists. #QT #qtdebate

I'd say it's the exact opposite, because it's directly pointing to someone else's post, putting their post front and center.

On the other hand, I'd say people who suggest just linking to the other post, THAT seems to me to be making a new post all about them, with the original post something of an after thought that, meh, I guess you can go click to if you really want to.
