Hmmm creature of habit.
We can quote post now. I still have not quote posted. I find quote posting quite a good way to communicate and add meaning. I missed quote posting when I immigrated from The Bird Cage. I got used to not quote posting after some time on Mastodon. And now - apparently - I don't really quote post.
I should start to quote post again. I just have to remember how to do it.

@SuneAuken after being here for some time i have begun to agree that qoute posting others is a bit rude. It is like saying: " i would like thoughts and opinions from everyone BUT the original poster". Or "let's all agree that this person is an idiot"
I will however qoute post my own posts when i am following up on an old thread. I find it better than continueing an weeks old thread.

I understand the danger. You are quite right that a lot of quote posting was like that.
In a few cases to glorious effect, but very often not.
I am a self-declared cheerleader, so in a solid majority of cases my own practice was to quote posts I like and to add my own point.
It furthers the conversation started and it makes it much more visible. Done right, it means "The original post is damn bright and you should defintely engage, and here's me adding reach and depth to it."

@SuneAuken @Eg0nJN I have missed it a couple of times either to add context to 'why' I want to boost it. Or take something in a different direction where I don't expect the one I'm quoting to participate, e.g. taking a post in English and add Danish context/perspective in Danish

This, too, is true. Alas, I have such butter fingers that I prefer to post from my computer and only from a phone app when it literally can't be helped.
