@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.

@konkrit@mastodon.social @mike@sauropods.win Now I've had to double post because Mastodon. I needed to add context to a Post so made a new Post, added my context, pasted link to OP in my Post, and sent it off. But that won't Mastodon-network Boost the Post so I have to Boost the OP. But I can't make the Boost Unlisted or something like that. Anybody following get double-spammed. Scale this up with a lot of followers or following.
