@Gargron The point of adding a quote-post feature is to allow users to add context to items already shared on Mastodon servers without having to go through extra steps. Some prefer to limit discussion by hiding behind the lie that the tools create the culture, when it's the other way around. Those insisting on being able to opt out or prevent their posts from being quoted ignore that such can be done by simply going to followers-only mode.

@EU_Commission This wouldn't happen to be retaliation, would it, for Hungary refusing to tow the line with regards to Russia?

@EU_Commission @EC_Commissioner_Breton Define "disinformation". You let Covid19 disinformation run rampant including the myth that it's over, that herd immunity is possible against a rapidly mutating novel virus, and that it somehow is a bioweapon and simultaneously a hoax; you label anything that dissents from your lies about Ukraine and the war you helped start there as disinformation; you let right-wing extremists have free reign to harass, doxx, and incite violence against LGBTQ+ persons.
