Journalists will never stick around this app long term sadly unless it adds quote posting. We desperately need it to communicate effectively, build on each others ideas, and add crucial context to posts. These are things replies simply do not accomplish. Also quote posting or reblogging does not = harassment! Tumblr, for instance, has had the feature since the beginning. We need it here now too 🙏🏻

@taylorlorenz totally agree. and this doesn't apply to just journalists. Journalists are hardly a unique group in wanting the QT feature. I bet if polled vast majority of Mastodon users would want it. the harassment angle can be handled by moderation which is very strong on Mastodon.
