Just so you know, this is what a mobile user sees when someone uses code blocks to format quotes on HN: https://i.imgur.com/EDI0Ist.png

It makes people scroll side to side to read the quote.

Please don't use code blocks for quotes.

There's a link at the bottom to the text, if that's easier.

And frankly, the fact that there's no other way to indicate a block quote is absurd.
