One of the things I never liked as much about #Twitter was the quote tweet feature + algorithms favoring spiraling content. It would reward a lot of snarky quotes and people talking about what you said than talking with you about what you said.
Being able to quote can be helpful to add context, but in a platform with a word limit, the feature can be exploited for clapbacks and sensationalization.
@manisitdas the #tip I’ve most appreciated so far came from @no1historychick and it is to use the star ⭐️ as “favourites” or “bookmark” that you want to find again, not as a 👍 “like” button. If you like something on #Mastadon you should boost it instead, so it can reach across the #fediverse. #hottips #newbie
