I see fedi has reinvented quote-replies after claiming to hate them by just slapping RE: and a link on them.
For shame.

@ignaloidas you might be getting the wrong bit of my message, but fair.
My main point is that for a long time a lot of people (most people?) specifically said they wanted fedi to be a place without some of the toxic features we saw on twitter, of which quote replies were a big part of it.
I'm sad that despite identifying this feature as a bad way to interact in short-form blogging, we have nevertheless implemented and widely adopted it because it gets good "engagement"/modes of posting.
