Another good reason for being able to quote-boost is that you could add hashtags left off by the original poster - eg for an Australian politics post. As it stands, I can't boost a politics post that doesn't have that hashtag without breaking the rules of my instance.

There's much fedi-goodness available to those who dare wander beyond Masto.

@msdropbear42 I don't need to join any more social media platforms!

@timrichards This will sound harsher than I mean it, but, change instances. Seems a bit strict.

I would quote boost posts if I could but I got over it. Also, I KNOW the terror people can inflict with that. Someone with a lot of followers, not just trolls, decides to pick on you or something you said, and it’s dog pile on the rabbit.

@davidtoddmccarty I know what you mean, but god the quote facility is good for adding context.

I'm not bothered by adding the politics hashtag because I always did that on Twitter, and it's a well-established tag.

@timrichards Maybe that would be good sometimes although there's also been times I've left out hashtags because I'm primarily wanting to say something to the people who follow me, not people stalking hashtags
