If you don't understand why do reposts also have a lockout feature? Does the developer have statistics on how many people are using this “forward → lock beep” function? I think it's boring. I have to move my finger to the bottom of the screen and click more every time. The meaning of retweeting is for more people to see At least let people who don't like this crappy feature turn it off thanks If you don't want to publicly retweet, you can bookmark or like it. Bold guess that every instance has a bookmark and like button, why not block the retweet. Also, confirmation before forwarding on the web is an optional feature, and tooot has become a mandatory feature. I hope the developers will do some research before adding mandatory features to see if they need to provide a shutdown option.
