@konkrit@mastodon.social @mike@sauropods.win yeah, I second this - often, the thing that people (think they) want, may not be the best way to go. Think about it, if you ask anyone, they will say they want lower taxes. But then if everyone's taxes were lowered, the roads would be filled with potholes etc. People are (generally) really bad at assessing the deeper consequences of their desires, when implemented. So, I'm with Kristoffer on this. Though I think many will opt out of it altogether, and I am hopeful because of that, it won't harm our communities all that much 🙏🏼

@konkrit@mastodon.social @mike@sauropods.win People want this feature because they want to quote, rather than reply. In order words, they don't want to engage in two way conversation they want a one sided monologue. The only people who want this feature are those who used this feature on X / Twitter, who then migrated to Mastodon because want an alternative to X / Twitter, as long as that alternative is exactly the same as X / Twitter. The whole purpose of quotes is not to reply. It serves no other function.
