"Reposting" is such a dumb replacement for retweeting
(hexbear.net)
I'm sorry, I'm sure everyone and their mom already complained about how stupid 
's rebrand was weeks ago but every time I see "repost" in a twitter screenshot it keeps making me go 
Reposting already means something quite different and distinct from the concept of retweeting in internet lingo and it has negative connotations. Being told your content got reposted conjures up images of some asshole cropping out your watermark from an image or video and posting it as their own. Alternatively you think of someone posting a tired meme for the 9000th time
yea he can try as much as he wants to rebrand retweets but its not going to work.
like even in html data-testid is mentioned as "retweet" indicating the twitter devs still call it retweet

oh my god I'd love to see him try to do a replace-all on the codebase, the site would go down for weeks
