Just wanted to state that Treehouse .social has my full support in implementing quote posts in their own Mastodon fork, and I will also support broad adoption. Designing your network toward healthy behavior is valid praxis, but this decision isn't effective against deliberate abuse and it prevents a great deal of valid use. It only blunts a lamentable, but surmountable, ill tendency in all of us cultivated by prior forms like Twitter, with a comprehensive environment of toxic contributors.

["this decision" == the decision to omit quote post functionality] -- this is not to damn the decision from the beginning; it worked in its capacity for the time, and now its ratio of cost to effectiveness is no longer acceptable for the network
