When I see a really good post and want to quote post it, I'm sad when quoting is disabled. I get it, it's their choice and I respect that.

But the ux designer in me can't help but to wonder if they didnt get the setting right and are missing out on positive engagement.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://social.coop/users/scottjenson/statuses/116194411751413071 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)

I think this every time, but also I think most of the time it's actually from older versions of mastodon, software that doesn't support the feature or or posts made before the feature existed.
