Who the fuck uses mailing lists anymore? It’s 2025.
Like half of the software stack for the server you’re writing this on is developed via a mailing list.
Its cool though, your opinion of how it should work is the only one that matters, not the actual reality of how 99% of users do things and how they expect things to work.
As I’ve said, nobody expects quote-after replies. It’s just the default behavior that people pay no attention to. If you disable quotes-after, most email users would not care, since all modern email clients show full email threads anyways.
You’re not grasping the actual conversation here. You’re just arguing about semantics that don’t actually matter, and in the process completely missing the point.
The interface isn’t designed for you. It’s designed for the way 99% of people are familiar with interacting and replying to things.
It’s pretty clear that most people are also familiar with quote-before too. It is how quotes usually work, from textbooks, to forums, to all social media except twitter derivatives. We’re on one such social media right now.
Even on twitter and derivatives, when viewing a reply chain, messages are ordered top-to-bottom, it’s only the quotation that’s the odd one out.
