Great point! Whose to say Amazon deletes Parler's data when they leave?

Raynbo@rayn.bo - The major concern we have with Parler now is that since they had been using Amazon’s AWS all along, how much data has been collected on everyone?

...and what's the equivalent of quote-retweet in Mastodon? Surely that exists.

@pete Nah. I take a screenshot and I paste the link.

@pete Maybe Pleroma can do it. I don't know.

@verretor judging from my nginx access logs a lot of people are using Pleroma.

@pete @verretor I remember reading some statement from Mastodon devs that they didn't implement quoting to encourage discussion/interaction. Not sure where I resd that.

@kalle @pete @verretor I think you're right, it's cos they see 'quote tweeting' as being used to dunk on people rather than engage in discussion

@stephanlivera @kalle @pete @verretor Twitter without dunking on people? This is never gong to take off.

@ajtowns @stephanlivera @kalle @verretor your wrong!! stupid dumb dumb head!!!
