quote tweet stuff
I see people are piping back up about it.
Lemme tell you something: it’s bad. Hi, I used to engage in that on birdsite too much. The algorithm favors those posts the most there, it actively just invites people to be nasty to each others, people use it to dunk on others, rarely do people even use it positively. At all.
Stop wanting that feature here. Thanks.

@Russell I think it depends on the instance you're in.
On an instance with quote-toots which won't tolerate harassment, it should easily be reported to cull this behavior.
On an instance which doesn't care about harassment, an absence of quote-toots won't help make it a better instance so it doesn't matter.
To compare Twitter to ALL Fediverse servers is a bit unfair. Every server is different.
That said, this server I'm on already has quote-toots, almost since the beginning of the Fediverse. And all Misskey servers also have quote-posts. They already exists. There are a lot of servers having this already. Just not Vanilla Mastodon.
