Apparently the great war that journalists of masto are getting ready to fight is quote tweets.

Honestly, I see both sides. Journos generally use them one way, and usually aren't in the right part of twitter to see how they get used for life-ruining/doxxing/swatting/pro-suicide pile-ons at gay teens, pro-ana, and shit like that.

I don't have an answer here, per se, though I think some friction is probably better for the overall ecosystem.

use the post's url, see if that works.

@quinn so you're argument is "some people use this for bad things therefore no one should have this"

This is the same argument that police use for encryption "criminals use it so nobody (except for those in law enforcement) should have it".

@JoshuaACasey same argument for restricting guns too, and environmental dumping laws.

shit's complicated, yo
