mstdn tweets being called toots is horrible, they need a new name IMO...

There has been a new name for ages, they're called posts now, they're only called that by people who have been around for a while and liked the weird name. Being "professional" is boring

It’s ok to be quirky but the word toots gives a cheap knock off vibe, and I’m saying this as a lover of the fediverse.

They aren't called toots, other than by people who call them toots. I still call them toots for nostalgia sake and because I'm a sucker for whimsy

Clearly "twat" is the answer

I don't understand why they're not just called posts

They are, the name was officially changed ages ago. They're only called Toots by Mastodon old-schoolers.

Toots are way better 😂
