Okay, what have we learned? QT's have many uses. They can be a major tool in productive discussion and a major tool in a pile-on.

In my view, disabling QT's is not the right solution to the dunking problem, given the many types of constructive interactions it enables.

But we do also need tools for to deal w/ pile-ons, particularly of non-public figures who want to stay that way.

I'm heavily committed to using / , for reasons I've already tooted.

But I think my side of the argument has to step up and talk about if QB/QT's are implemented.

Some suggestions:
1. Present and retroactive limitations on WHO can QB a post, as currently discussed on GitHub: mastodon.online/@Carwil/109570
spore.social/@hipquark/1095678

2. A slider to disable "Show quote boosts" in timelines.

3. Automatic alerts to mods & admins for viral pile-ons.
