Retweets

6,204 tweets @Malcolm_Ocean has passed on, from 2,005 accounts — including 354 re-shares of his own. None of it counts towards his tweets, likes or retweets anywhere else on the site: a retweet's engagement belongs to whoever wrote the tweet, and re-sharing his own would count it twice. They still show up in place on the month pages, where they can be toggled off.
