And hey @skroobler I'm #QuotePost ing this using the feature on #qoto!
Yep, instances that give users more power and more features are able to participate in #Fediverse even if other instances leave their users hamstrung by questionable software development decisions of the past.
Quote posting allows us to built on other peoples' content, giving proper credit and adding value for all.
It was a silly decision to leave it out of #Mastodon
@volkris @skroobler I've been basically making this argument before. It makes no sense to allow embedding/sharing of any source except Mastodon, really. It was just crippling the Mastodon UX for no good reason.
Trying it out on your instance now: https://fosstodon.org/@sehe/109554380574650275
@volkris @skroobler Oh. I hoped the simple link would expand as a preview. I'll have to read up a bit :)
@volkris@qoto.org Absolutely right! I lack the mental health (and am an American, so also lack the mental healthcare resources) to do admin on a site much larger than myself and a few friends, but I hope there are some big #Misskey and #Akkoma instances spun up as well, so people can start to see the advantages to those as well as some of the cool forks like qoto is using!
