Though the way twitter did it was in reverse. It was a convention by users to boost someone's message by copying it and putting RT in front. Twitter simply adopted this convention into a feature.
Every time we come up with a way to implement some Twitter feature on Nostr we discover that it was implemented in exactly the same way as on Twitter.
Today I found out that, much like NIP-18 reposts, a "retweet" is a normal tweet with the full text of the thing being retweeted copied below after "RT @username".

Yes, but my point was just that the Twitter internal data model resembles Nostr's.
