@polotek So much pushback about quote-posts seems to come from folks who can’t fathom a non-dunking-on use case, but you’ve outlined a perfect one here.
My big two are:
1. I have something to say, but I don’t want anyone to see my comment without the context of what I’m responding to, or
2. I want to share something, but in the spirit of “retweets aren’t endorsements,” I don’t want anyone to see that I shared it without the context of my comment.
Quote-boosts do this. Nothing else does.
