Instead, posts and comments can be "shared" by referencing them in a new post or comment. It's basically the same as a "quote-tweet", but without copying the original post into the editor. For those who receive the post or comment, the reference is expanded to the whole shared post or comment, mentioning the author and giving a link to the original.
