Indeed. Although, most of "this place" has quote boosts, and has for a while, it's only Mastodon that doesn't. But hey now that #Meta has implemented quote boosts (including supporting Misskey's implementation) maybe that'll finally lead to progress?
@jdp23@inquiline for what it’s worth: I was on the team that launched QTs at Twitter and I’ve always thought we made a mistake with that feature, to the point where I felt real guilt. The abuse it introduced on the platform was absolutely awful, especially because of how easy it made targeting people with deep native support for linking to tweets.
That linked post is probably the first thing I’ve read in years that made me open my mind to the good stuff, too.
