@newt@Jain I got banned from hacker news when I just started replying to people's passive-aggressive or veiled attacks with an explicit recital of what they were saying, and noting that HN allows you to defame and insult people all you like as long as you do it politely.
@sun@Jain@newt progressives hate being quoted. i got blocked by someone on fedi for using email style quotes: "Repeated provocation using copy/paste." :)
@bonifartius@sun@newt i would describe myself as progressive and do callout others if the quote posts are seen as something other than a nice link preview
not about quote posts. i was replying to someone, and i quoted the parts i replied to. not once i was asked to untag or similar, iirc. i just didn't participate in the hugbox.
