Eugen RochkoIt's so beautiful to see masses of people switch to Mastodon / the fediverse. Big hope feels.

@Gargron okai temme... where do u get the name mastodon and toot
Riman Das@DILIPDRAVID The name Mastodon comes from a prehistoric animal, which is a fluffy elephant essentially. There is a band called Mastodon which is where I learned about this animal from.
The word toot comes from the Mastodon community. There was a long period when things were called just "publish" and "status" and people were coming up with different things to call them.
@Gargron wow.. interesting.. and thanks for sharing😍😍 mastodon👌👌
vijaya@Gargron @DILIPDRAVID - good to know and thank you for sharing . Do you ever see #toots becoming #trumpets someday 🐘
@vijaya @DILIPDRAVID No, because of association with a certain president 😦
shirish@Gargron @vijaya @DILIPDRAVID Dunno if you have Ancestors:The Humankind Odyssey it's a game but many people have made a series of it. It gives all scientific names of people. I did see mastodon in there as well :)
@Gargron @vijaya @DILIPDRAVID I actually learnt a lot from seeing the game, for e.g. before homo sapiens, there were homo erectus, lucy and the others way before. Almost 8-10 species between ape to man evolution. Was pretty instructive :)

@Gargron so Mastodon means Mammoth?
@kshitijsrivastava They’re related but it’s a different species
@Gargron ohh..cool, had just started to read about them on wikipedia 😄Nice trivia.
