     @thomasfuchs in other words, "we need quote tweeting" is treating the symptoms and not the underlying disease.

     @thomasfuchs "Improving infrastructure support for moderators could go a long way towards not just mitigating harmful use of quote boosts, but preventing it by reducing the presence of malicious users. And there are other features that may prevent more toxicity and distress than friction in quoting can. One such feature is on the Mastodon roadmap: Giving people the ability to limit who can reply to some or all of their posts."

     @codinghorror @thomasfuchs Unless you're prepared to stop people from linking to a public mastodon post, then the issue isn't whether or not to allow it, because it's already happening. The issue is whether or not there should be a better user experience around it than there is currently. And that's a no-brainer.
