retweeting

Amplifying someone's post

Retweeting is sharing someone else's post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) so it appears on your own feed.

The retweet may be passed along as-is or with added commentary (a quote retweet).

By extension, retweeting applies to similar resharing functions on other platforms: She's been retweeting conspiracy theories all morning.
