Journalists will never stick around this app long term sadly unless it adds quote posting. We desperately need it to communicate effectively, build on each others ideas, and add crucial context to posts. These are things replies simply do not accomplish. Also quote posting or reblogging does not = harassment! Tumblr, for instance, has had the feature since the beginning. We need it here now too 🙏🏻
@taylorlorenz My understanding:
1) I believe a good starting point for anyone, journalists and other, who do not know so much about Fediverse and Mastodon in particular: Read https://docs.joinmastodon.org/
2) Going deeper, check suggestions, propose suggestions, feature discussions etc for Mastodon sw go to https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon
3) Each instance can have different decisions what to implement, rules and which release they currently run
4) Eg each web sites and apps implement its own way.
