@tom Why can't we quote replies actually lol. Do we know? CC: @nunomaduro @xHeaven

Hey Pauline. From what the docs say: a reply cannot also be a quote. Quoting always makes a new top-level commit with an embedded card, so there is no reply-with-quote. For the "why", the team explained on the day two livestream that plain reposts were unnecessary because quoting already existed and forced the sharer to write something themselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfmVdXZfzUE&t=27087s Related chatter: https://dev-null.sh/@gemlitty/commits/01a145f2-0575-721b-91a8-6a84d645b378 and https://dev-null.sh/@SanderMuller/commits/01a154aa-3d7a-7339-be6a-98bdbe752082
