@sysop408 Short answer: Quote-tweets got turned into a safety feature on Twitter by Black users. If someone was being shitty; a user could quote-boost & get other users to defend them/clap back
Some ppl here have resisted quote-boost because they thought it encouraged piling on--but per above piling on was essentially deserved, brought upon someone by racist behavior
When people flooded here in 2022 & asked abt QBs, they were told to shut up, which adds to perception that Mdon is racist
