it’s like someone looked at the word tweet and thought “how can i make this infinitely worse?”… i hope it never catches on. I don’t know why people want their posts and announcements to sound like farts.
As far as I’m aware most instances no longer refer to them as “toots” and instead refer to them as posts. Likely because “toot” is used in some places to refer to farts.
A toot?
A mastodon, like an elephant, has a trunk it can sound like a trumpet.

The mastodon version of a post or, sadly, tweet.
It’s, uh, not the best name.
But maybe, just maybe, it more appropriately attributes correct value to a social media thing. ;)
Most people these days refer to them as posts, toots is older Mastodon linguo.
TIL - thanks!
