(Please note, this is an older entry let out of the suggestions queue very belatedly.)

Reblogging/reposting other people's posts is one of those Perpetual Suggestions that people feel very strongly about, and I tend to reject them from the queue because the discussion inevitably turns into "letting people reblog my posts would be terrible and awful and you're bad for wanting to do it" vs "letting people reblog my posts is the best way for me to find new readers and you're bad for not wanting to let me do it". I let this one through because it's different enough from past suggestions that I think it's worth having the discussion again, but it is a hotbutton issue and many people feel very strongly that reblogging is a massive privacy violation.

Things I don't want this discussion to focus on: how a reblogging/reposting/etc feature would be terrible and awful and nobody should ever want it

Things I do want this discussion to focus on: if you want a reblogging/reposting/etc feature, how you'd want it to work; if you don't like the idea of a reblogging/reposting/etc feature, how you would want it to behave so that you can comfortably ignore it.
