    I like Mastodon and all, but I’m never going to call a Mastodon post a “toot.” It’s a terrible name for a post.

      When I think of the word ‘toot,’ the first thing that comes to mind is farting. Maybe that’s just me though?

      In germany its called a “Tröt” like the sound an elephant makes. It’s super fun to say. Try it! Tröt, tröt

        It’s funny you say that, because “the trots” means diarrhoea in many English countries. So… Might be worse.

          Haha, we call them “the runs” in the SE US, so the tots makes a lot of sense. Never heard it before now though.

      Yeah, that makes me feel like it’s not a serious platform. I can’t imagine convincing any friend to use it by saying “toots”.
