You need to understand that we have quote posting on the Fediverse already, Mastodon just doesn’t support it.

Trent_Hardwoodbergstein (trent_hardwood@chudbuds.lol)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 08:48:14 JST Trent_Hardwoodbergstein That’s so bizarre that it doesn’t have that feature. Is there a reason why or mastodon just too incompetent to implement? In conversation permalink -

⛧Airgetlam⛧ (alex@wreck.rocks)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 09:08:22 JST ⛧Airgetlam⛧ @Trent_Hardwood @alex @taylorlorenz Ruins the flow of conversations, makes it impossible to see replies to a post, and is almost exclusively used for dogpiling. They're not used to have conversations or respond to people, they're used to show all your followers something someone said, little different than capping a post and then showing it off. They're for commentary, not conversations, and that is not what a social network is supposed to be about. In conversation permalink -

Trent_Hardwoodbergstein (trent_hardwood@chudbuds.lol)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 09:15:00 JST Trent_Hardwoodbergstein I can see what you mean. It is generally used as a means of dunking on someone, and more in line with talking “at” someone than it would be talking “to” someone.
Thank you for taking the time to respond :)

mlinksva (mlinksva@public.garden)'s status on Saturday, 24-Dec-2022 09:21:17 JST mlinksva Is it possible to also quote post in a reply using Soapbox? I haven't been able to figure out how to (though I also haven't tried very hard, eg haven't looked at any of the code for applications that support quoting yet). In conversation permalink -
