For everyone asking for Quote toots in Mastodon -- it's deliberately not been implemented:

(also there's lots of design decisions that seek to try and limit potential abusive behaviour)
@noleli Functionally, probably. But as the blog notes that's a tad more effort than hitting a single button?
@mrshll1001 for sure. Affordances!

@mrshll1001 I didn't notice until I came over from twitter, but 'retweet with comment' was one of the biggest mistakes ever. Turns out friends retweeting bigoted stuff to point out how bigoted and bad it was didn't do much for my mental health!
.@mrshll1001 hmm, would a dot-reply with a link (and maybe a screenshot) accomplish almost the same thing? https://mastodon.social/@mrshll1001/100561884847876088
