@lorenzlm @jeffjarvis @vowe @shengokai Since I’m most likely blocked by Lorenz I’ll respond to his post to me here. QTs don’t just go to your followers they also go to the person you’re quoting followers in @ replies. A screen shot by its nature with out the original posters functioning handle attached do specificly just go to your followers.
The one positive no matter how this matter resolves is that this community is built on respect.??

So yeah...

@shengokai @Pineywoozle @lorenzlm @jeffjarvis @vowe does the "reply and repost your own reply" model work for the QT example? I know that has a different affordance on twitter, but it is closer here.
You can manually QT (copy the link into your new post) which is how it worked on Twitter before they made a button, but it doesn't show a preview.

@shengokai @Pineywoozle @lorenzlm @jeffjarvis @vowe a QT didn't originally invite a response, that changed when Twitter added a notification to the original poster. Before that it created a separate conversation fork from the original post.

@Pineywoozle @lorenzlm @jeffjarvis @vowe A QT, enables call and response and INVITES the response through the very mechanisms that many of you describe. Insofar as the QT actually pulls the other user into the conversation or adds something new to it, the QT invites a participatory exchange that the screenshot + hashtag does not.
This is how the QT enables the call and response I've been talking about in a ways that your proposal does not, and which mastodon was not designed for.

Again, for @vowe specifically, I'm using "black digital practice" to describe how black users make their identities present using the available tools of a platform and, in doing so, come together in a community based on how offline cultural practices translate online through the tools of the platform.
Here, the screenshot + hashtag has been taken up in a specific way by black users to avoid certain kinds of interactions.

Couple of things. Much of my discourse is in the context of people saying that marginalized communities could replicate their communities here on Mastodon. Given that context, I don't think that this is the case because the affordances of twitter that enabled Black Twitter to come into being do not exist on Mastodon in a robust sense.
As for your solution, screenshotting + hashtag has a very different cultural function in black digital practice.
