Also don't extend from Post module anymore to represent the future state of a reshare as it's own type only used to increase the reach of a post. See diaspora#83

Currently diaspora allows comments and likes on reshares, but that will change in the future to solve diaspora/diaspora#4219.
In the future the reshare entity is only used to increase the reach of a post, all interactions go to the original post and then the post can be displayed only once in the stream.
Because of this, the
publicflag and theprovider_display_namewill be removed from the reshare entity, because it doesn't make any sense to make a reshare private when it only increases the visibility of a post. Diaspora currently has thepublicflag set to alwaystrueand the flag was only kept because of the possibility to use the reshare message for quoted reshares too. But since it was decided to not do this in #82, it doesn't make sense anymore to keep them.There will be a new way to create "reshares" with own interactions, maybe a new
quotemessage or maybe just astatus_messagewith a diaspora:// link to the post, but needs to be discussed first. This discussion will take place here.Want to back this issue? Post a bounty on it! We accept bounties via Bountysource.
