After years of using only Mastodon,
I became completely "de-accustomed" with quote-posts.

Now that they've been implemented here, and are getting increasingly more used, I realize I don't really like them in most circumstances actually.

I think I'd rather keep boosting and replying, and boosting replies. I'm very grateful they can be opted out of here.
