I honestly don't see how a social network can survive without retweets. They're just not going to get the critical mass. There needs to be an "amplify" gesture and quote ain't it.
this is stupid

i think the real impact would come from the “outreach” algorithm. i can retweet or quote but if it doesn’t reach the “semantically” relevant people, then the problem still stands..
I'm open to discussing this, but I'd like to address one thing first: what kind of interaction do we want to encourage here?
If you like something, you can star it and move on. If you LOVE something, so much so that you want to share it with people who follow you, surely you…
Disagree :) The thing that's breaking other social media is that the social part is getting removed.
Forcing you to write words and actually come up with an opinion instead of pressing a "repost" button without any context provides a much richer social experience.
