How do people on the BlueSkies feel about being quote-skeeted? Maybe half of my posts are quotes, usually because I agree with the poster and I have something to add, but a lot of people quote-skeet primarily for dunking or a quote from a big account brings assholes to their mentions...

A quote not only adds a sense of human appreciation for the original poster, but gives context so my followers can know why I'm interested, too. I sometimes think we should require quotes to reskeet. A little writing assignment for every dopamine button hit.

I read the text of what they're saying, so i don't really view it one way or the other. if someone i follow QTs me to expand on something they were saying in a side-thread, great. i'll likely jump in. If someone just does to dunk on me, Ill just block them so nobody knows what they're talking about

I love quoting if I have some personal bit to add, but I never quote to dunk. I usually just mute that person and move on, occasionally I will "subskeet", but trying to fit context and rebuttal into one skeet is usually not worth the bother.

you can also reply directly and repost your own reply. that way you still draw attention to your answer on your own timeline, but don't ‘hijack’ the discussion by essentially moving it to your own timeline

I've mostly used quoting to branch a topic so it doesn't flood the original thread. If someone doesn't like it, they can block that post (or me, it's not going to harm me). That said, I quote less here than I used to. Mainly because I can't find the pigeon posts.

I think here I default almost exclusively to adding context, my perspective, or amplifying. More in line with the values of the joint. For me.

If you are quote-skeeting because you admire the post and want to boost the poster, good.

Doesn't bother me but I certainly understand why it might bother other people. I do feel like it registered as automatically hostile when I was on Twitter, but here it doesn't (to me)

It's much less hostile here where blocking the person essentially just deletes the quote. But definitely people are grappling with the long-standing twitter instinct against them

Bluesky's apocablock makes being quote posted much less risky -- if you get QPed by an asshole and block them, their followers can't see your post, or even who posted it. So it's a lot more common here to QP positively -- because the QP dunk just gets you blocked -- and folks are more cool with it.

Anytime I quote-reply someone on here, it's to add further context of support only. If I disagree with the poster, I prefer to simply comment on the thread. If bsky was a Twitter sized community I'd understand a quote-reply. It isn't, so that sort of reach isn't needed imo.

I don't typically quote-skeet, i just boost because i'm finding that the person had something to share, and I don't need to add my own view in with it, contrary or agreeing.

Really depends on the purpose. If you're adding something of substance in the way you described? All for it. If you're adding one word/essentially nothing? I don't understand why you wouldn't just RT. Dunking on me? Maybe I deserve it in which case cool. If it's baseless? Whatever I'll block them.

When I quote-skeet, it's always to amplify the original message, which I support, and add my encouragement. I do not hate quote & I'm enough of a nobody that hardly anyone cares either way. So I've never quite understood the hate many have for quoting. FWIW, I also comment. I do both.

Quote-dunk is a Black Twitter thing. Works in the context of a minority on a white-dominated site carving out its space. Rebuilding the network elsewhere is a mammoth task ofc. Big accounts need to use it responsibly. Feigning innocence only works once and carelessly algo-boosting fash is bad too.

IDK, in the art and comics corners of this site, quotes are nearly always positive and appreciated. They’re used a lot to boost people’s projects, or in fun themed quote chains, and things like that. Quote dunks mostly don’t work here thanks to the nuclear block. So only the good quotes survive.

I think it depends on the logarithm of follower differential. If A has 100x as many followers as B, A quote-skeeting B can bring unwanted attention even if it's not overtly hostile, whereas B quote-skeeting A is often just background noise.

QTs on twitter were often aggressive and I haven't found that here as much. I like quoting posts if I want to have a conversation that extends the topic in a way that I'm thinking about specifically. It gives the OP a choice not to be tagged into every reply by going on that tangent in their thread.

It's a valuable way to add your perspective on a post while sharing it to your followers, and the way the original post is largely inaccessible if either party blocks the other helps mitigate dunks/harassment.

I reskeet a lot and sometimes think I should add my own thoughts, so I guess I'd have to say I think it's ok. If one quotes another for purposes of driving negative attention their way ... well, that depends. Were they a repeated ass to you & just won't stop? Fine. Are you just in a bad mood? No.

Positive or additive quoteskeets are good. Quotedunking usually results in a block from me. When a big account does it to someone with like a couple hundred followers, I will often block them. There are ethical ways to quotedunk: screenshot, remove pfp & username to dunk the idea, not the person.

If I'm going to QT, I'm almost always agreeing with the original post. Usually it's in the format of "Yes, and" or "Yes, but" If I'm looking for further discussion I'll stick in the OP's replies.

I think we're seeing more quote-skeets because, in a sense, we don't receive feedback from our followers on reskeets like you do at the other site in your mentions saying who liked and reposted it. That makes it all feel less personal, so we're all quote-skeeting more than we might have otherwise.

I'm pretty new here, but i thought quoting to agree & add-to was polite: to avoid starting messes in the original poster's replies. Also to avoid the appearance of trying to piggyback a bigger account for clout
