I’ve been “Image-Quote-Posting” for many months. You know how many complaints I’ve heard about it? Not even one. Why? Because quoted posts in any form make it so much easer to consume a referral to something. Having to visit a link or thread to get the gist of a reference is just inefficient and silly. Resistance to QPs was always contrived for a few reasons, none of them good ones. It was a bad decision that hurt the fediverse, imo.
