So it looks like we’re stuck on this broken site for a while, but could we try to avoid its most broken features? Chat posts and quote posts are really really hard to respond to. And they’re unnecessary. You can basically always put the same content in a text post. Text posts can easily start reblog chains where you can see clearly who said what. Thank you.
(Like I know we’re going to reblog other people’s quote/chat posts sometimes, I’m just saying when we’re making posts from scratch, let’s just use text posts)
Reminder that I have quote posts blocked so I don’t see them unless somebody pings me, and I periodically consider doing the same thing with chat posts, precisely because they’re so damn inconvenient to respond to and I don’t want to be tempted.
I agree.
(I do this naturally, because I post from Diaspora*, which doesn’t offer chat or quote posts.)
