The debate about QTs is interesting because as far as I tell, all sides are correct.

• QTs let you introduce a topic to your followers w/ tailored commentary (Black Twitter is the best at this)

• They bring fame & attention to the worst people in the world

• They cause dogpiles

• They’re a great format for humor, which 🦣 needs more of

• They are often performative dunking “look at this loser”

• They let you address a side issue or add a different perspective w/o derailing the primary convo

@sbarolo
I just miss science communicationing. Communicating. It's better with QTs. Oh man it's 8:30. I should probably go to bed.

@sbarolo @warkittens agree 100%. Sharing science articles, info, etc. requires context, explanation, etc. QT is the best for that.

I think it's a little bizarre that this argument has taken over this site. It's not well advertised, but quite a few instances have the feature, and I guess it should be better advertised up front as people are picking instances. This one has it, and I haven't even used it, nor have I really ever seen anyone in it using it regularly.
