Oh I just saw that in the current mastodon version you can quote toots. I always thought that this was left out intentionally.
I personally never liked quote toots, because I've seen it used far to much for arrogance, and to shame people. And if people don't reply to each other and constantly quote each other instead, it makes a conversation that is impossible to read.
And I hate the german words for quote toots "Drüko" which means "comment on top" instead of "comment below" which is "Druko" and I refuse to use these two terms with a passion.

@distel@weirder.earth It's been possible for a while now and I've already seen the same dynamics I've hated on twitter: Instead of talking with somebody, talking about/over somebody. But at least it's possible to decide if you allow your toots to be quoted or not.

@distel@weirder.earth Its different than on Twitter. You can decide if your posts may be quoted and who may do so. Arrogance is hence much pess likely.
