    I now have the "who can reply" options but what I actually want is blocking quote-tweeting of tweets—or pulling the whole thread as a quote if someone wants to go that route. While there are reasonable uses of the quote-tweet, it's so often just dunking fodder. Yawn and headache.

        I honestly don't even know when I got the feature. I have it and it means nothing to me. I also think it's a hilarious update from someone who claims to abhor "echo chambers," when as you pointed out there are plenty of features that most users want that would mitigate that

        I hear ya, Z....I have been calling for this for some time. Takes "taking things out of context" to a new, often dangerous, level.

        Yep. I’m not a big account but I have been QT’d by some, and I have had to go on a blocking spree and go private for a bit. It invites pile ons.

        Yeah I feel the original sin of the quote-tweet is the way it disconnected from the thread. It should have been designed like a reply+retweet.

        I think people would quote-tweet using screenshots more then. It would make it harder to find the context for those who wants to

        What is an acceptable way to share your tweets with others? You often have interesting and/or important things to say - and I would like to amplify them. What is the right way to do that?

        Retweet if you want to share, comment if you want to comment. Retweet with a comment if you are addressing the receivers of the RT, but not the OP. To me that makes sense. I hate it if people RTwC and reply to the quoted tweet in there. What’s the logic in that?

        Wouldn't this backfire? It incentivizes screenshot sharing, which hides the context completely. People would still dunk on you but on an even worse version of you and you wouldn't even know what's going on.

        Wouldn't that just make people tweet screenshots of tweets?
