Not public reshare

I would like to suggest to add the possibility to reshare something without posting it as public.
According to me the fact to add the possibility to choose the aspect used with the reshare can add a very big value to D*.
From my user experience : there is a lot of thing that I am not resharing because I don't want to set it public : it is a little bit annoying.

I find this a bad idea as is. Changing the visibility changes the nature of the post, which makes it a new post. So, this shouldn't be a *reshare.

As said in a few comments. This would be a repost, not a reshare.

We should consider replacing the entire reshare concept if it doesn't work well, not retrofit new stuff into it.

Let's separate the federation code from the d* core code before talking about federation protocol changes.

@deadsuperhero Thanks for bringing that up, I admittedly didn't think about it. But since private posts are not resharable in the first place, I don't see reason for concern there (unless I misunderstood your meaning...?). If the feature I suggested would be implemented as I said in the reshare-confirmation-dialog, you couldn't possibly access it for a private post. I hope you reconsider your decision! https://wiki.diasporafoundation.org/FAQ_for_users#Who_can_reshare_my_private_post.3F

I'm not sure it's a good idea to offer tools to move content created by others as public to private. The person whose post is reshared might not be able to see the reshare, which to me would be odd.

FYI : That's exactly why I proposed this including on this thread.

@augier @jasonrobinson I find this definition completely arbitrary. Since @jhass has a fair point though (although I personally think this could be achieved through step-by-step-reforms just as well and maybe more easily for reasons I stated above), let's take the raw material from your old thread, Augier, and make it voteable. Since the most controversial part of your reshare-revision is the one-reshared-post-floods-stream-issue, let's all go to https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/issues/4219 and collect some ideas. I'm a complete boon in regard to coding, so I need some activity by you people here! ;)

@es , I've made a new proposal to modify the reshare feature as to address most issues (including the one on github).

@globulle I also think that is a nice idea, but bundeling different proposals into a big one makes the democratic process a lot slower, since it's way harder to find majorities that will agree with all the details of a complex proposal. Precise, smaller steps are the better way to handle this, I think. In the thread you linked, it seems peeps didnt quite understand your intentions. The best strategy might be to make another proposal for adding a field to write a message in on the reshare comfirmation window, over at your old thread. This way, our ideas could run parallel and everyone knows exactly what they're voting for! :)
