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.
@ml8_ml8 My two cents: hard pass.
That one feature is the root of most evil on Twitter. It divorces people from accountability for their interactions, increasing gossip and toxicity. It's why things "go viral," and going viral is not good.
I am immediately skeptical of any platform that includes it. @th3j35t3r
@FrankCannon @kel @th3j35t3r I do not necessarily want to recreate "the Twitter experience" (meaing, the culture), but I do like the functionality and find CoSo and Masto awkward and expect I"m not the only one.
@ml8_ml8 There's a method to the madness, and it's made this the best community online for over 5 years. #justsayin @FrankCannon @th3j35t3r
