   There are definitely nicer people here, but I think the lack of quote replying also helps to avoid networks of arseholes forming to pile on each other's finds.

     I don't agree with this. It's not the tools it's the people, and the degree to which people control their feeds.

     You just can't stir up a big audience by being mean to people since there aren't a lot of people here who enjoy it.

     I think quotes would only make things better, especially for attribution and splitting threads up. Right now everything ends up in one huge thread with forty people tagged.

     So of ya'll talk about "reply guys" on Mastodon. And yeah that exists, but it's like the least annoying of the gruesome menagerie I used to deal with every day on X social media.

     There were:
     - Stalker
     - Mr. Race Science
     - Always Wrong, Thinks He's Right
     - Mr. I'm Making This About Politics
     - Ms. Gender(ing everyone for no reason)
     - Mr. Just Plain Racist
     - Mr. I thought I blocked you?
     - Mr. "I know where you work"

     and on and on
