the "quote tweet" encourages the behavior of "dunking" Quoting people to negate or mock their argument has been around since Usenet - well, much longer in literary terms but I'm citing Usenet as an example of a system that's almost real-time and where it can be a spontaneous emotionally driven decision. It may not be called 'dunking' on every platform but the phenomenon is universal. |

It may have occurred occasionally on other platforms, but the difference in degree is enormous enough that it's a de facto difference in kind.
