@Gargron I would guess most who want that function have come from Twitter. Over there quote tweets are a huge part of that site's negativity. Also, it's a lot easier to grab someone else's content and repost it than coming up with one's own good content. By not having quote posts here, I would argue, has elevated the content and engagement here over what we see on Twitter.

@Gargron
I had similar thoughts recently. I wanted a quote function, but then I thought about it and about my experience on Twitter. Best not to have than IMO.

@Gargron May you have a blessed holiday season and new year.

@Gargron I'm sure you're paid far less than you deserve.

@Gargron
Corporate greed is incessant. Meta has zero interest in ActivityPub except how it might help drive up their stock price.

My gut says to the degree that the nature of ActivityPub will not allow Meta (and other rich capitalist companies) to do what they want, they will then try to control it and change its very nature at some point and in some way we likely, today, think cannot be done and therefore will only learn about when it's too late.

@Gargron Great to hear. Thanks.

@Gargron I thought the same.
