If you screenshot the post, there’s no guarantee it’s not doctored
Comment on Mastodon is bringing quote posts to the fediverse
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 day agoYeah, people have been arguing about it for at least the last three years, since the first big twitter migration.
Everyone just kind of ignored that you could screenshot a post and reply to it already.

That’s fine. The friction of typing in the person’s name to harass them from the screenshot does deter some people, it turns out.

I actually like that Mastodon is more manual. Keeps things less combative overall.

Same. I like that it is hard to go viral. It feels more like people talking and less like influencers( although there are some.)

At the same time, the lack of virality may hurt it since it feels much more like a burgeoning project. One of the draws for someone coming off of Twitter would be feature parity, and Mastodon feeling less complete and much smaller wouldn’t help.

Yup. There’s just something that makes social media better when you are forced to be more intentional about it.
