@konkrit@mastodon.social "I have zero understanding for why people would want it." That surprises me. "We have learned that many groups use Quote Posts as their primary means to build consensus and community on other platforms. Quote Posts used in this way convey trust and respect for the original post, building on or enhancing an original idea." Even if that's not been your experience, surely you can understand that others' has been different. (Mine included, for what it's worth.)

@konkrit@mastodon.social My primary use-case is taking an English-language post as a starting-point for a post in Norwegian. Don't want to clutter up a thread with my local issues.. @mike@sauropods.win

@konkrit@mastodon.social @mike@sauropods.win Automating quote posting allows adding **Context** to blindly Boosting somebody else's Post/Boost. It's like ALT text for Boosts. It will allow ME to add Content Warning wrappers around other people's posts that didn't, reducing Boost spammage. I currently hate Following on Mastodon because it conflates Network spread via Boost with "I want to explain somebody's post". I can't separate the two. Also, manual copy-pasting linkage is Luddite. Drove the Journalists away.
