At the risk of coming back to a struggle session in the replies to my comment, what even is a "retweet" anyway? I've never seriously asked, I know what it does functionally but I'm not aware what it does socially. Does a retweet always mean "I support this?" Or is it just "I want to make people aware that this exists" in a more neutral sort of way? Or something else entirely? I've never used that hellsite so I'm not familiar with the social ramifications of retweeting something.
depends on alignment really, sometime endorsement, sometimes making fun of, if it's non-obvious there will be reply typically
