Ordinarily, I'd have muted or blocked or moved on, if that. The onerous reporting process plus toothless remedy plus lack of ability to deal with the problem (many individuals tweeting boring/stupid insults rather than any one boring/stupid tweet) doesn't incentivize reporting.

I could ignore it—most of it is the zillionth iteration the same stupid comment. But, no, I want control over whether news outlets or anyone can embed my tweets and I want control over whether a tweet in a thread—it's a thread for a reason—can be quote-tweeted in isolation.

Yes. I may do that. I actually like the messy/opennes of Twitter. I don't mind disagreement and can totally ignore the occasional idiocy or insult. But there needs to be controls to add friction to the *volume* of idiocy/insult. Problem is scale/volume.https://twitter.com/JuanIsidro/status/1042401273105014794 …

At a minimum, someone wants to quote a tweet embedded within a thread? Force the outlet/website to embed or quote the *whole* thread. That should discourage the fly-by idiocy and out-of-context quoting. Either that, or Twitter should just disable threads so we get it: no control.

Tbh, maybe going private would be a good option for you. You already have a big following (300K strong) which ensures a nice visibility for your content and would foster healthy discussion. Plus going private effectively disables quote retweets and embeds.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
