People who are desperate for the ability to “quote tweet” (because let’s face it, that’s what QT stands for) on Mastodon, and won’t settle for an embedded link are trying to make someone else’s post all about them. Discuss, with particular reference to journalists. #QT #qtdebate

Mastodon is forum like vbulletin. It is specifically designed to tamp down on fake virality and negative reinforcement. Much of the things people are complaining about are because this is a network platform, not a media platform. You can use it like a media platform though, it is just harder.

@Quinnae_Moon Glad someone is being thoughtful and #scientific about. We're lucky this debate isn't happening behind closed doors among investors in a social media startup.
