@bibliolater guess it depends on the app yer using?
@riggs7sct I have it available on my instance. I remember when I first started using #Mastodon I was informed that it's use was disliked on the platform that is why I ask.
@riggs7sct I used it a few times at the start but was given a sharp reprimand by a user. Since that time I have not touched the quotation button; however, I heard it is being brought to the wider platform at some point.
Oh hell no. If it's there for you to use, use it. Seriously. If someone else doesn't like it, that's their issue and they can take it up with the instance admin.
Or if they are an instance admin, let your own instance admin know.
@riggs7sct Thank you for your advice.
@bibliolater @riggs7sct In around a year, I have never seen anyone complain about me using it.
@olives @riggs7sct I see from your timeline that you use it to mostly 'quote toot' your own toots. I was asking about using it to 'quote toot' others toots.
@bibliolater @riggs7sct I do both.
@bibliolater disliked? It's optional 🤦♂️ but also handy when needed
