This isn't a value judgement, just an observation: it seems like the number of reposts (e.g. "RT/RD/RP/♻") is increasing.

@nds And what do you mean with this observation? I don't understand.
-
@hikerus many posts in my timeline start with "RT @bobuser blah", repeating other people's posts
-
@nds Ok - but I see this in other networks, too (Friendica, Diaspora). But I really don't like it.
-
@hikerus @nds I think some people are to lazy to write own text here, or they like the other's text to much and repeated it. It is also a form of saying your opinion on something.
-
@roland Yes could be - but I don't like it anyway ;-) @nds
-
@hikerus @roland I do like annotated reposts fairly well. In fact, the thing where you can "embed" a tweet by adding its url is one of my favorite recentish twitter features (gasp!)
-
@nds Yes of course - a "commented" respost is ok. But simple to push the button is to simple IMHO. @roland
-
@nds I think !gasher has a feature to annotate a repeat, but I've been too crazy busy to try it. :(

Test personal commentary. Over 800 characters remaining! ♺ @davehunt: Guilty as charged! I'm still a part of the twitter culture, where this is done often. When we post links, maybe we should add some personal comment along with them? We have plenty of room, after all.

@davehunt @nds Also then ppl know why you want them to look at whatever the link shows...
