Oooh, I'mma disagree!! Reblogs are NOT functionally the same thing--in many ways they were worse because you could edit other people's reblogs for years
Did it allow you to comment on the post? The worst part about quote tweets is adding snark (look at this fool) while centering yourself in the conversation (I am better than them)
Eventually they did fix it so you can't now edit the OP when you reblog it (they fixed it years ago)
However, yes, take the amount of drama you're imagining from being able to go "Look at this fool and how much better I am" in longform posts and, mmm, double or triple it, and you'll come close, lol
IS THIS WHERE I TALK SHIT ABOUT THE METHODOLOGY OF THAT PAPER THAT FOUND QUOTE TWEETING DID NOT INCREASE ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR BECAUSE I'VE BEEN SAVING THAT UP
Wow. Quoting people has ruined everything. Better when we just paraphrased what they said and shit on them regardless of if they actually said that. Remember when people wrote the word RT?
