Holy shit... what if #mastodon's so-called "reply guy" problem is actually caused by the lack of quote toots?
If I want to disagree with someone who is an expert in a related field, I would be much better off quote tooting. That's a way to register my informed disagreement for my own followers and branch the conversation to a place where the original author has far less of an obligation to reply; whereas a direct, public reply would be seen more as egging on the OP or (if they're a woman) even "mansplaining".
