   I feel like most of my friends are going to Bluesky over the fediverse and that's a problem on the fediverse's part.

     On a fundamental level, Mastodon showed its culture. The dogged refusal of @Gargron et al to listen to what people wanted tells everyone they won't listen. It's dev from the top, not for the user.

     Doesn't matter that you don't have to use a feature. Doesn't matter they could have given something like quotes, but different. Doesn't matter it comes up with every onboarding wave. Insiders didn't want it, so it didn't happen.

     That speaks volumes.

     @BlackAzizAnansi the fediverse blew it by refusing to fix onboarding and offer basic, expected features like quote tweets

     I don’t think it’ll ever have another chance like it had. Really sad to me

     @Gargron
     Well, look at search. People have asked for it for years, and it just came (thanks, btw).

     Quote posts are a basic element of convo on modern social media. It's a regular refrain for people to ask why they aren't here, implying they want them. It's consistently shot down by Masto devs. Claims that it's not needed or wanted. Well, if people ask for it, and it's cited as needed for journalists and such, the negative position feels like ivory tower dev.

     @evilgardengnome @maxoakland @BlackAzizAnansi There aren't that many Mastodon developers (2), and I'm confident we haven't shot anything like that down. I said that quote posts were under consideration all the way back in January.
