@mralanorth @blaine @shengokai Ultimately what I think the discrepancy comes down to, and why people are opposed to quotes in this space, is that fedi is more about conversation than publishing. It is skinned to look like a public platform, but in actuality it operates like email or a messaging app.
I actually think quotes have their place, but specifically on an actual website, while fedi is awkwardly halfway in-between being a website/platform and being a messaging service...
