Yeah? I though quote-tweet were being used for harassment?? What did I missed?
No, they aren't. Eugene was concerned that was what they would be used for if implemented, but they've been on the fediverse for years on most platforms that aren't mastodon, and even the research on their use on twitter shows they're not really responsible for an increase in harassment.
Any concerns about harassment can also be covered by implementing them properly, making them opt in etc...
Any links to that research? I've only seen evidence to the contrary.
