 Makes it harder to follow any conversation thread. Quote replies ought to be for when sharing a new thread of discussion based on some other post. Replies ought to be used when continuing a discussion thread in context. Can always simply repost a reply to boost it into the main feed.

 But clearly my rant only had the opposite effect, which I should have known it would 🤣🤣🤣

 It's what you get when you put a bunch of people who enjoy bucking the system in the same social network 😂

As soon as there's a judgement on what 'should' be done, it'll immediately be done the opposite way.

 To add to that, the quotes can become impossible to find after the fact since it's a one way reference. The OP gets a notification that they've been quoted, but that's it.

 I wonder if we should change OP to ON for Original Noter 🤔🤔

 Exactly. My favorite is when 2 influencers start going back and forth with each other using quote replies instead of just replying to each other in the thread. I assume it’s because they are more interested in showing off their comments to their followers than actually having a genuine discussion with each other. A form of engagement farming.

 Exactly, it's an ego problem.
Reply and repost the reply is the logical solution if one cares about the discussion/community.
