Further to @shengokai and their discussion of the use of quote tweets as 'call and response' i'd like to put forward a defence of them in light of how autistic people communicate empathy.

we do this by relating an incident we feel relates to or, to some extent, mirrors the experience of the person we are talking to. to deny us this is to limit our ability to communicate.
