@kissane We're talking about choices that are being made at such a hyper-local level. Is the instance running the glitch-social fork? Are they running pleroma? This is the core of the fediverse. Your view of it is going to be colored by the client you choose. The capabilities within the protocol are far more expansive. Quote toots are more than possible within the protocol, and implementing them within a client would cause a conversation about interoperability. (Cont)

@kissane But every time I see this conversation, it is one that is framed at a central authority. We're not going to make progress through appealing to hegemony. The analysis can give us insight but the fediverse isn't mastodon. We don't have to ask permission. We can just fork it. We can build the systems we want to see. We can have a conversation through Praxis and through such demonstrably improve the quality of life of our communities.

@irick@this.mouse.rocks @kissane@mstdn.social Quote toots are more than possible within the protocol,Adding something to point out that this is a good example: You can actually do exactly that in Misskey. Not sure how it's implemented, but it's supported.
