As a reader who finds a funny or interesting passage in a topic post I’d like to highlight it and (in addition to reply-to-quote) have a way to send that quote to a social media site to draw others into the topic and to reward the writer for good stuff. Ideally the social media posting would include the quote but also the social media handle of the post writer and a link back into the Discourse posting I pulled the quote from.

I think the writer would also appreciate getting this exposure to their writing.
