It is possible to QuoteBoost? It seems like Mastodon is completely missing out this very essential functionality.

so it seems it is not possible because there is some stupid ass decision of not having this functionality…

it makes it very hard reacting to something inside the platform basically making conversations with people outside of your social bubble discouraged… to me it kinda ruins the whole point of social network

this kinda feels to me like this stupid approach/attitude some people adopted where they try to have environment where none can be offended…

Isn't that just replying with copy and paste?

@mollym no i mean the equivalent to the Quote RT from Twitter… from what I’ve read so far it seems like the authors of the app thinks that functionality is bad therefore does not want to implement it but my info seems to be few years old so I’m hoping maybe there is some new update, change of thoughts

@lordshedy
Perhaps the thought is that following threads is the best way for readers to understand context instead of quoting. Don't know.

also seems like some of the clients could implement it and start a trend.
