🤔 2 cents:
- "Bookmark" saves a *reference* but it gives the impression that you need to organize them later.
- "Save" saves a *copy* but it gives the impression that you can just look it up later.
- Logically, “Save” sounds wrong because saved posts are kinda ephemeral — they can be edited, deleted, reported, etc.
- However, “Save" feels *lighter* than “Bookmark” because it doesn’t require organising them, so there's less friction for users to use it.
Twitter’s “Bookmark” may just be legacy.

@cheeaun would be interesting to be able to organize bookmarks though!

@cheeaun this isn't standardized yet in ActivityPub API, and my initial modelling was as Adding objects to a private OrderedCollection. But @betula Is bringing federated tag-able bookmarks, so very curious to see how that goes!
