so, one of the things you have to keep in mind is that Twitter was created by the people who first founded Blogger/Blogspot. that’s why the generic for that kind of site ―which includes #Mastodon― is “microblog”.
tweeting and tooting is microblogging.
blogging is not just a form of publishing online, but of writing; of transforming into new digital formats the conventional forms of writing and publishing on the media of paper.
which means: QUOTED POSTS ARE MICROBLOGGING BLOCKQUOTES
