@kline@mastodon.sdf.org FWIW that's the backwards-compatible view for them, there is some actual values behind the stuff, together with notifications for ppl getting quote-replied

@ignaloidas@not.acu.lt you might be getting the wrong bit of my message, but fair. My main point is that for a long time a lot of people (most people?) specifically said they wanted fedi to be a place without some of the toxic features we saw on twitter, of which quote replies were a big part of it. I'm sad that despite identifying this feature as a bad way to interact in short-form blogging, we have nevertheless implemented and widely adopted it because it gets good "engagement"/modes of posting.
