I get that quote toots can help to punch up against power;

But I'm just not into watching everyone punching each other.

@hallam @sfoskett @Homebrewandhacking @nus @audleyzdarke Thank you. I consider myself a guest. I don't host an instance. And I am not intending to advocate for any particular user. I just like #mastodon the way I found it. It's given me hope again for humanity. And I see the reasoning behind the #QTorNotToQT decisions by Eugen and others.

@futurebird @stevenbodzin This is the core challenge. Balancing power and reducing the natural human competition for power (follows). Encouraging #cooperation over #competition. Allowing #advertisement endangers that power balance.

@sfoskett this is normal when two cultures collide . Especially when one is the guest of another because their own culture self destructed. At least there aren't hot takes being quote tweeted and fanning the flames

@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.

@cfiesler even if I have to personally tutor every legitimate feature missing complainer how to make that extra effort, it feels worth the reduction in thoughtless misuse to me. #YMMV #QTorNotToQT
