I forgot about this sketch. I like it a lot, tempted to develop it at some stage.
Ok so "repost with comment" aka "quote retweet" isn't on masto because the main Dev thinks, fairly, that it encourages harrassment and dunking in the way it's implemented on twitter. But the same feature is the very bedrock of tumblr's culture and although there's definitely harrassment and dunking on there, it's not based on the repost with comment feature. I think that's literally down to how it's displayed. On twitter your comment comes first, giving you the power over how what comes next is perceived. It also has a stack limit of two. If you qrt a qrt, the original tweet that was being quoted originally isn't displayed and so you get a breakdown of context which is harmful to meaningful discussion and encourages shittier behaviour. Conversely when you reblog with a comment on Tumblr people see what you reblogged first, and they see the entire chain of content if there's a stack of quote reblogs, all before your contribution to the discussion at the bottom.
Given that I'm connecting to masto and the fediverse from my own one person instance running a microblog.pub rather than Mastodon itself, I think my plan is to build this kind of long stack quote repost feature myself and if other software wants to update to support it, they're welcome to join me.
I already display attachments before text on my site because I want to give art the chance to speak for itself before the commentary attached to it.

In the last spacewalk on the green foggy planet, a tiny but important piece of emotional equipment was lost. Now, all the spaceship stations and sensors are desperately trying to find it while flying low. Under those conditions, it will be a complicated, almost futile, task.

"cure is simple," says the doctor. "go to the desert. see a statue of Ozymandias, King of Kings. look upon his Works, ye Mighty, and Despair. that should cheer you up."
"but doctor!" cried the shattered visage with sneer of cold command, half-sunk in the sand near vast and trunkless legs of stone,
Was feeling a little all over the place this morning so I've done the Swedish thing and found myself a spot to just sit in the sun for a little while.

My favorite collection of dwarven adventurers I've ever drawn. Someday I hope they will live great adventures!

Little Mastodon tip if like me you find the content warning culture here overly annoying, you can just go into your settings and tell it to auto-show all posts and/or all sensitive posts. So you can effectively get rid of the content warnings for yourself but let everyone else still have them, which is cool.
