The only good use of quote-tweet is relaying good art posts twice.
That's
It.
@IrisKalmia Also:
"Hey frens please look at this thing because of <specific reasons>"
@mawr @IrisKalmia Or adding CWs
@kellerfuchs @mawr The ability to add content warnings to a boost would be *so good* for mastodon. So very good.
"Well, this is an interesting post but I try to CW this topic sooo... Welp, guess it goes unshared" is SUCH a common thing for me ;-;
@IrisKalmia @kellerfuchs @mawr yeah
i desperately want to know how we can get something like this without the potential for abuse like quote tweets :/
@bea @IrisKalmia @kellerfuchs My thoughts: The potential for abuse is ever present in any feature set; the solution is moderation, and Mastodon's tools can be adequate if users use that report feature when they should :3
@mawr @IrisKalmia @kellerfuchs this is very true but moderation is not only work but emotional labour
a somewhat precious and scarce resource
by designing the software in certain ways we can hopefully keep the demand for moderation from outstripping the supply
it's why i don't say no, it's not ok we shouldn't do this or yeah this is good and we should have it
this will shift a delicate balance in some unpredictable way and i can't chart a path through it
so i wish we could do better is all.
@mawr @IrisKalmia @kellerfuchs and part of that is
i wish i could do better about it too!
