It’s often used as a signal flare to invite trolls. Usually, quote tweets are hostile, though I don’t think I used them that way.

Ah, never mind, I see the source of confusion.

@LouisIngenthron @Extra_Special_Carbon @mollyjongfast ew that's a terrible break from masto norms. I'm tempted to just block that instance.
@LouisIngenthron yes that's why I stopped at tempted. I'll wait to see if it's abused.
