   I'm going to QT something about the necessity of QTs for community formation. I asked an expert in Black Twitter who's not yet here whether there would be a Black Mastodon and she said likely no because Mastodon lacks the affordances that made Black Twitter possible. Here, @shengokai affords us an excellent explanation of the importance of those affordances, starting with the Quote Tweet.

     @lorenzlm @jeffjarvis @vowe @shengokai A screen shot with a hashtag and the person who’s post is being discussed provides the same access for your followers to access the conversation with one or two extra clicks. I’m sure they can manage that.

     As to your straw man about what t is vs what m is, wasn’t discussed. The method one gets to a discussion is all that was pointed out. And that using tools ment for one application are inelegant at best

     @Pineywoozle @jeffjarvis @vowe @shengokai That is flat out wrong. When my intention is to point my followers to a pertinent post, to contextualise it, e.g. in the framework of an ongoing discussion, analyze and recommend it and refer them to it - How in the world could a hashtag and a screenshot be the equivalent of a QT?

     And this argument, that Twitter is not Mastodon - does that mean that Mastodon is not a possible platform for curation in the sense described?

     @jeffjarvis @vowe @shengokai @lorenzlm I found his analysis at odds w/ how M functions. If you attempt to use M like it’s T much of what he says holds. But that’s a mistake most people quickly get over. A screenshot & a pertinent word as a # is the equivelant of a QT

     Community specific hashtags will promulgate naturally & bolster native narrative patterns including the call and response which isn’t reglegated solely to the Black community.

     @vowe @shengokai @lorenzlm No, he is speaking with academic and cultural references from here.

     @jeffjarvis

     Honestly, I do not understand what he writes. He uses many words to hide what he wants to say.
