    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.
