LRToot: I didn’t even realize quote boosts and non-hashtag searching weren’t a thing here and I’m so grateful now that I know???
obvi quotes have utility, but I don’t...need them, they’re often Performancey. And BLESS THE LACK OF NON-TAGGED TERMSEARCHING
@honestlyjon you'll get used to just posting "LRT:" immediately after reposting things again, don't worry
@irisjaycomics it’s a great way to continue a thread without unnecessarily getting all up into the OP’s life
@honestlyjon YEP. it's The Good Kind Of Inconvenient
@honestlyjon the more I learn about this place, the more I wonder why no one else thought to do this. Content warnings ALONE is a selling point
@Firehawk32 strong anti-harassment, instances run and curated by people, a lot of unnecessary features stripped away, like: Good
@honestlyjon you don’t stop to think how stifling the “features” of bird site are until you get here and realize you don’t need them
@honestlyjon yeah the consensus was basically that people just use quote-RTs to rag on people and sure they can screencap but we don't need to facilitate that behavior. On a more theoretical level, quote-RTs, tumblr reblog captions, etc. promote a culture of talking *about* people and we wanted to promote a culture of talking *to* people. (i'm one of the former devs who pushed for this haha)
@shel this is super cool and considerate, thank you!
NO TERMSEARCHING RABBLEROUSERS, HALLELUJAH
