@hildabast@mastodon.online I would note that most early Internet forums relied VERY heavily on interlaced quote responses. i.e, KirkFan

Kirk is better than Picard! TNG4EVR Your an idiot. KirkFan As illiterate as ever, I see. TNG4EVR How about you say why you think hammy acting > Shakespeare? KirkFan Kirk doesn't surrender! TNG4EVR Except to cheescake!

And so on. :)

Thus, I assume quoting is value-neutral, it's how you call attention to what you're replying to, for good or ill.

@TCatInReality @mmasnick DeSantis, and many like him, believe any information on sexuality besides missionary position solely for the purpose of producing white babies is a "danger to children", and given they've stacked courts and state legislatures, they will either win easily or present such a long and expensive fight that most web sites will simply self-censor rather than risk it. This is not a risk or a hypothetical. It is what WILL happen. Any time you wish to grant "new powers", don't ask "What good could we do with this?" Ask "What harm could THEY do with this?".

@hiramfromthechi@mastodon.social "Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move."

@paulroub @mmasnick “Trump”.

@AriCohn@masto.ai But did they right to inform him some asshole is signing his name to stupid bar complaints?

@joelle Obligatory:

@UncleDuke1969@mstdn.party Squirrel Girl has Galactus on her side. ‘nuff said.

@adamsteinbaugh @Popehat An expert in using Object Pascal to connect to SQL databases, of course!

@joelle The Autobots have SO many traffic violations!
