Tweets one can't reply to? How about tweets that cannot be quoted?!?! Quote-tweets are occasionally okay but they are generally the worst aspect of this site and why I sometimes delete tweets (out-of-context quotes leading to stupidity and waste of time).

Yes, I had wanted that for a while, and that could do as well. Preserves conversation. Still have to figure out how to avoid the dueling quote-tweeting. It's bad for conversation but I bet great for engagement (dunking is engaging).https://twitter.com/KDbyProxy/status/1263212562054819844 …

To conclude, this thread as a whole doesn't say don't ever quote tweet, but you could easily take one tweet and try to characterize it that way. Or turn it into a quote-tweeting duel. Which is the issue! Control over quote/embedding would help. Instead, we got unrepliability.

Hm. This makes a lot of sense to me for how it can get misused - but as an academic, I find a quoted tweet is the best approximation for how I would normally use a citation. And I try and make sure that the text of my tweet reflects the “source” that I’m “citing”
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Very good observation. Interesting to think of how common online interactions would look in real life (with social moral cues). A famous guy in a huge crowd of friends uses a microphone to sarcastically repeat the words of an [often unknown stranger].
