Endorsement/support/agreement. When applied on a tweet I consider to be vile, to me it means that the person retweeting/sharing it is amplifying that vile message. There's already a dedicated bookmark button.

There is no dedicated bookmark button. The Bookmark functionality is hidden under the share button. The Like-button maybe is one of the most misused features of twitter. People don't always use software the way some developers think it should be.

  The like-button was the "favorite" button, they only changed it trying to imitate Facebook in 2015. Your favorites (as in your browser) were your tweets you liked to store because you enjoyed them. So no, the misuse doesn't come from the people but the forced/intended change by the devs.

There is no such thing as a dedicated bookmark button on twitter. At least not on my client. Twitter on the web or with their app is unusable for me. The only thing I have to find a tweet again is the star / heart button.

  Then the problem is with your client, not with Twitter, because Twitter offers a way to save tweets.

    Is that part of the official app? There isn't a way on their mobile site, except using browser bookmarks (of course). Edit: nevermind, I see it hidden in the site's share menu.

      Yeah I had no idea until now that was even an option. TIL. I have for years been using the like button as a bookmark tool, and I probably will keep doing so. Old habits are hard to break.

  You can bookmark in your browser. Each tweet has unique link. Advantage is that you can also organize bookmarks in browser .

    Like I said, their website has become just unusable to me. I'd rather quit Twitter than use that.

  You can press share, then share to bookmarks.

Most people don't know that you can bookmark a tweet. Besides the like button is more convenient

  Having the bookmark button under share is possibly one of the most prominent UX abuses of modern times.
