@Gargron It'd be helpful to clarify what "QT" means here.

Twitter work more as a kind of "alt-reply" function, more "branching off a conversation" than simply linking to a post, with 3 essential attributes:

1. The other post is displayed as if it's a seamless part of ones own
2. The other person is notified just as with a reply or @-mention
3. QTs are listed under "x Quoted Posts" under the original post

When one says "I want QTs", is this what one means? Would anything less be enough?

@feditips Although a warning for new users thinking of trying Tusky: for reasons known only to the author it doesn't include the Trending Posts feed, so you're going to be missing out on one of the most important features to help you get started and discover accounts to follow.

@EU_Commission Most of it is fine, but the avalanche of inconsistently-styled, intrusive, pointless cookie popups on every single site have utterly defaced the web and ruined the user experience. There must be a better way.

@feditips Hmm. I don't know. I agree with everything you say here about the need to avoid one server becoming too big, but at the same time the "pick a server, any server" stage at onboarding has proved to be too much of a hurdle for far too many non-techie users. Perhaps this really is the least worst workaround for that—make one server a "welcome" server and then let people move once they've got in and had a chance to get used to it?
