If there are and technical writers left at Twitter, they must be at their wits end, because I just saw that they have changed 'retweet' to 'repost', which as we all know is SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT to the respectful forwarding on of an original post, which is called on tumblr reblogging and on Mastodon boosting.
But Sir Annoyingpants can't avail himself of another platform's existing word.
And he called his platform something that you cannot adapt to describe posting.
So you have to use the word that actually means 'I don't want to use the platform's inbuilt method of passing a message on without breaking attribution, because I want to makenout that it was MY post'.
And it's extra 'oh ffs' because as far as I can remember retweeting was the first way of doing this within the platform, because people were c&p-ing tweets and tacking on RT so much because we WANTED to attribute. And then Tumblr puilt it out as the whole platform structure.
Like: YOU BOUGHT A COMPANY THAT INVENTED IN-APP SHARING WITH ATTRIBUTION AND YOU CAN'T USE THE IRIGINAL NAME FOR IT - RETWEETING - BECAUSE YOU CHANGED THE STUPID NAME TO X AND DECLARED TLYOU WOULD OBLITERATE ALL REFERENCE TO TWITTER.
