The Fedi Gatekeepers are still bound to hate it. So I think it's important for people who support this feature to be vocal about it.

I never understood why exactly it's such a controversial topic. It's my third year on Mastodon, and I've never felt the service was lacking just because not having proper quote posts. But then, I also don't understand most of the arguments against them, especially when/if they're implemented as an opt-in for the original poster.

Basically, people on both sides seem angry over nothing, and I'm just like, 'Neat, a new feature. Anyway...'
