Is virtue signaling a bigger part of the far-left trolls' motivation? Or do the far-right trolls just not know about retweet with comment?

Or far right trolls are a bit ashamed of their comments / afraid they could reflect badly on them. Or, they have no followers anyway
-
The latter could be a factor. On the whole they seem newer to Twitter.

The left believes in public protest as a virtue in and of itself.

Interesting, rings true to me as well. "You are stupid" vs. "look how stupid this guy is!!" Left values or more virtue signaling.

Replying borrows your visibility. When I open your tweet I see replies, not quotes. It's social strategy not "virtue signalling"

To be balanced, I've retweeted with a comment and replied with a screenshot of my retweet. Does that make this far-centre?pic.twitter.com/PY1OTREy0J

Different response biases: (direct, personal confrontation) vs (indirect, public shaming).

My guess: it’s related to your discourse. Folks retweet and propagate what they agree with and reply when they don’t or want to correct.

Suspect a lot of your "far-right trolls" are random Russian bots → goal is to muddle any discussion, not bring attention to it.

The former want dialogue in public, the latter demonstrate orthodoxy to their own tribe.
