@grammargirl I'd say, "I'd like walnuts instead of cashews please", then go on to explain why, and apologise for causing any inconvenience. 😂 (Although really, I'd just leave, and not actually talk to anyone, go home and have my walnuts in peace). #ActuallyAutistic

@Balkingpoints @atomicpoet @Gargron If people want quote toots, the option could be opt in. It would also be very important that the default be that posts can't be quoted unless express permission is given by the author of the post.I saw the nasty side of "quote-tweet", on twitter, and I don't trust those who want to bring it here.As for threads, that would actually be useful, to have an indicator that messages are part of a thread would be a good thing.

@Balkingpoints @atomicpoet @Gargron No, opt in would require consent, and would be respectful of those who don't want their posts used in this way by other people without permission. If you wanted to quote someone, you could ask politely for them to opt in. I have seen far more abusive use of the quote function, than other uses. Why should people be forced to opt out? Opt in is far more respectful. You want it, you opt in, you don't want it, you go with the default.

@atomicpoet @Balkingpoints @Gargron @icecubesapp I didn't say it was intrinsically abusive, just that is how I've seen it used the majority of the time on twitter. I also experienced it personally on twitter. Opt in is the respectful way of doing it on here, those that want it can use it, those who don't want it used against them, or use the function, don't need to turn it off.It's about consent, and respect.

@atomicpoet @loskristianos @Balkingpoints @Gargron @icecubesapp@mastodon.cloud Wow, you really are twisting things now. Embedding isn't "abusive" in itself, it's the people who use the function to abuse others. It was frequently used on twitter to do this.All this waffle over the technical stuff is not, and never was, the point, or the reason people dislike "quote-tweets". Why is it so difficult for people to just ask for consent? If this is possible. If you can't get consent, just don't do it.

@atomicpoet @loskristianos @Balkingpoints @Gargron @icecubesapp@mastodon.cloud Yes that is what I'm saying, it's purpose is not to be used to abuse others, but that's what it is being used for. I also don't understand why simply asking for consent to quote is such a problem. Are some people so arrogant that they think they're entitled to do this?

@atomicpoet @loskristianos @Balkingpoints @Gargron @icecubesapp@mastodon.cloud You know when I reply, you are notified, and you can mute or block me if you don't like my replies. Also you can not allow replies if you don't want them, you have control over this. Quotes are a different thing altogether. I don't get a notification if I'm quoted, and I have no way of stopping someone doing this. Perhaps this is something that can be changed? If you didn't want me to reply, and said this to me, I would respect your choice and not be an arsehole about it. I guess it comes down to the culture of the platform, and the people on the various instances.
