RT @conuly
One of the features I love the most about Twitter is that you can RT, and QT any bit of conversation. One of the most frustrating things I find about Mastodon is the intentional lack of a QT feature. One of the uses of QTs on Twitter is to recruit* people to come and harass the person making the original tweet. That really fucking sucks, but instead of making QTs opt-in or figuring out ways to moderate this type of behaviour better, Mastodon decided that it was too difficult to deal with and decided to not implement it.
Anyway, this is a side-rant to say that I LOL'd at this reply from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
conuly in one of their threads here on DW:
Never misplace your wallet around an economist. :)
*: I was trying to find the term that's used for such recruitment. Is it brigading? I think that's it. My first guess was "embrigadeer", which I go from French, where "embrigader" is the term for "press-ganged"
