So mastodon doesn't do quoted posts. I think I understand the goal of avoiding that feature. People have decided that "dunking" is the overriding usage of quoting and that we should avoid the inherent toxicity.

But quoted posts are also the foundation of true discourse in a medium like this. It is the primary way to start *new* conversation that is an offshoot of an existing conversation rather than a direct response.

I'm finding it hard to do that on here. And the result is I just don't post.
