@Gargron Although I used quote tweets on the bird app, I usually only added an actual quote from articles I was tweeting. However, I did get trolled by quote tweets--so I'd like to be able to block trolls from doing that on here.

嚯！Mastodon可能即将支持带评论转发了。

@Gargron I've been here about 6 weeks now and I've adjusted to the space I have opted to join.
There's a lot of demand for sugar but it doesn't make it better for us. I'm wondering how much extra work it may it may not create for site moderators.
Not that I know an awful lot.
Moving to Mastadon has reminded me how basic my IT skills are. I'm okay with being humbled.

I do find it useful for reading well written articles.

@Gargron yes . The option should be here

@Gargron
i dont get it.

@Gargron Thanks! I'd suggest 3-fold support:
- Users can opt-in to allowing quote posts (in general)
- A user can allow a quote-post on an individual toot
-If a user feels a toot is being abused through a quote-post, they can disable it for the post retrospectively & revoke any quote-posts that had been done.

@Gargron I’m sure you’ve heard this from others, but would love if you considered making them tumblr-style reblogs, where the commentary goes below the original post! Feels a lot more collaborative that way ❤️

@Gargron my two cents: this feature should not be added unless it is supported by ActivityPub. Breaking compatibility with the rest of the Fediverse defeats the primary goal of the project.

If that means getting the standard updated first, so be it. There is no rush. We've been making do without this feature since the beginning.

@Gargron In my, very, humble opinion, I think this is the wrong move.
Mastodon works great just the way it is.

@Gargron yes please. It gives context to what I want to respond to a post. Rather than boosting it first then replying to it.

@Gargron Don't do it please! This will fuel toxic bejaviours.

@Gargron Must confess I used Twitter on a daily basis for several years and never even knew quote tweeting was a thing. (If you wonder how that's possible, I had a standing rule to never read replies there.) But here, it would have been handy on several occasions when I wanted to respond to a particular idea someone posted. Threads get chaotic and difficult to follow, so the ability to quote would be useful. I made do the old-school way, with copy and paste.

@Gargron more twitterfication, just what we need.

@Gargron often people want to have things that are more evil than good, when you think about it twice

@Gargron My €0.02: The baddies, and abuse, will always exist, on any platform, whether it has quote-posts or not.

It's how the platform (we, the users, and you, the admins) handle abuse that matters - not whether the platform has quote-posts or not.

It's up to us to make this a good place.

@Gargron I don't really need them & I don't mind them. But recently I have realized that sometimes people might want to boost something that is in another language and translate it into the main language of their audience. In such cases, that feature would be very useful.

@Gargron no thank you.

Je mehr ich drüber nachdenke, desto "schädlicher" fände ich ein Zitatfunktion. Habe mich schon selbst dabei erwischt, wie ich etwas (meiner Meinung nach) Beklopptes gelesen habe, es zitieren wollte um mich über den Tröt aufzuregen. Gut, dass es nicht ging.
