@ignaloidas@not.acu.lt @kline@mastodon.sdf.org there was a Twitter employee who commented on HN a few years ago discussing this. Basically their internal metrics (haha, they have abuse metrics, how cute :3:) didn't show an increase in abusive behavior from implementing quote tweets, they just saw people switch from the screenshot method to the quote tweet method. :shrug: I don't think quoting is bad. I think sending a notification to the person you're quoting is bad. Notifying them is what's toxic imho. And now Mastodon has an official quote feature and you can tag posts as being ineligible for quoting, but that will just cause people to switch to the fedi Re: link version or a screenshot. You're not gonna stop people doing this. You can only influence the interface design used when they do.
