Dude, the reason twitter is a shitty place to be is because of how it works. If you just move to another platform that does exactly the same, it will devolve into the same shithole twitter ~~was~~ is.
Quote-tweets (or whatever they are called) were resisted for so long in mastodon because it leads to toxic "omg, look at this person, let's make fun of them" posts. It's entirely too easy.
Add to it a tiny character limit and the majority of thing people can post is flickers of thoughts and incomplete works. Forcing people to reduce their expression directly leads to information being lost and for confusion or misunderstandings to be more common.
It is insane to repeat the same thing and expect a different outcome. Bluesky might be nice right now, but when twitter falls, the same people will just move to the Bluesky and nothing will have changed.
Bluesky allows you to block quote-tweets of your posts. That's already a good mitigating measure for this kind of harassment.
Another thing that Bluesky does well is blocklists. We should probably consider something similar here on Lemmy/Mbin, that would help to crowdsource moderation and reduce the workload on mods/admins.
Along the lists (for blocking and following), spreading the Bluesky behaviour towards trolls (don't engage, just report and block) would do wonders... Maybe going as far as what old forums did and punish those who keep feeding the trolls.
