   @polotek if i feel like i'm going to vehemently disagree or blunder into being a reply guy, or anything else where i feel like i'm definitely not adding anything, i quote post. in these contexts, not sending the person a notification seems good?

     I'm still on the fence about mastodon's choice not to notify people when they get quote posted.

     In the past I wanted it this way. Because I believe getting notified created bad incentives.

     "Is this person talking to me or about me?"

     "Is this a dunk? I don't know, but I better assume it is."

     Anyway, right now I'm thinking about the tradeoff. I think I'm missing a lot of discourse because I don't get notified of people commenting on my posts.
