Force people to speak in their own voices or not at all. Using other peoples' language to express yourself forces you to evaluate the world on their terms.”
I’ve been awaiting the percolation of your prior thoughts. For additional reference Manton Reece may have some thoughts as this lack of repost functionality is relatively central to how micro.blog works.
That’s a great way of phrasing it: that people should use their own voice. My hope with Micro.blog was that people would be more thoughtful in what they post, and I think that has turned out to be true.
