   I still find it remarkable that so many still don't see how unreasonably fussy and limiting the "quoted posts" debate was—and remains. Do you see anyone complaining that I almost always include an image of what I'm quoting? Not a single complaint yet!.

   A "boost" is nothing but a mystery-meat referral to something someone has to click to understand. Any librarian can attest that a citation without a description, recommendation, or annotation, will be a mostly unread artifact. #QuotedPostsASAP

     I think it would make sense to 1) at the very least, be able to QT your own toots 2) have an opt-out button to click if you do *not* want your toots to be QT'd by others, & 3) enforce against abusers by reporting & blocking accounts that misuse QTs against others - just like we do with all other rules on here.

     I think it is the right thing to do because it would give people in our communities control and peace of mind. That is important.
