Get a load of this idiot! They can't imagine how quoting someone can be bullying!
The quote isnt bullying at all. Its your own post using words like idiot ect. Thats abusing which again has nothing to do with the post below it. A mundane version of that post wouldnt be as controversial and most likely be roundly ignored.
Might as well just remove the ability of people to post. That will fix it
You have to think of it from a micro blogging perspective. Imagine I have a ton of followers and have created a culture of them attacking anyone I attack. It makes more sense how it is bullying in that context.
Edit: Also, to be clear, I'm not arguing against this feature, just explaining how it can be used for bullying.
Again, it's the attacking which is the simple rule breaking and it's regardless of how. Good god talk about over analysis.
Break it more than once and account suspended.
Haha, what a bozo! Now we're going to relentlessly shit-talk them in this sub-thread that OP has no ability to moderate nor stem the flow of vitriol from.
(Further continuing the example.)
Omg howd you do that without a quote feature remove images from mastodon
