On another note, @th3j35t3r, if you really want this place to be the best alternative for Twitter and entice users to leave there, you should figure out how to add a feature that's equivalent to the quote-tweet. It would def improve the UX, and you might find tweeters, ahem, flocking here.
@th3j35t3r I'm curious what others might think of that idea?
@lenaoflune @th3j35t3r Unclear what you mean by this. Can you explain? How does a QT do that?
@ml8_ml8 @th3j35t3r My experience is that, since a QT disconnects a post from that user by creating a new thread of discussion, it makes it far easier to grow the visibility of a tweet while simultaneously removing its context and direct discussion with the original poster in that context.
These things together don't lead to the type of connected discussions that CoSo culture prefers, IMHO.
