So this is serving #indieweb #mf2 html on my page with as deep a stack as I like, and in my activitystream it's serving both misskey's old quoteUrl field and the new FEP-e232 format for the quote

@kensanata@tabletop.social @hexdescribe@botsin.space holy heck that is SEXY

Well that seems to be working.

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.

Yessss
