I don't feel as strongly about quote posts as I did in 2018. Personally, I am not a fan, but there is clearly a lot of demand for it. We're considering it.
@Gargron I hope you don't add it, but if you do, at least give us the option to block quoted posts from people, please.
@twit_terrorist @Gargron That, and the option to block my posts (individually) from being quoted.

One can simply link to a post, but the nicely formatted graph data doesn't display. I don't see the difference in linking to URL or quote posting. I think if you post something to a public website, others should be able to interact with that post. Turning off comments, muting, blocking are legit methods to control your personal experience, but pre-editorializing who can link to a public post I think goes too far.

@awarsing @jurjen_heeck @twit_terrorist @Gargron the difference is the immediate visibility of the content combined with, often as seen on Twitter, a call to pile-on or otherwise disparage the original post / author.
We see this happening a LOT on Twitter. We really don’t need to add routes for bullying and abuse here.
@wiredfire @awarsing @jurjen_heeck @twit_terrorist @Gargron there's ALREADY a "route for bullying and abuse" it's called replies. 🙄
