I’m being ratioed for complaining about “Toots.” No offense intended! I was attempting to be jovial, folks. I’m a newbie, enjoying everything about this place and hoping to encourage others.

@JamesGleick I hate the word. The founder regrets it. I’m using an app that lets you change it to read “posts.”

@Davidtoddmccarty @JamesGleick
Which app is that ?

@StareofJC @JamesGleick Its called Metatext but it’s only available for iOS. Much cleaner UI.

@JamesGleick to be fair there's a chunk of us that were dogging gagron for it since the beginning it's weirdly divisive lol

I thought that got officially renamed in a release a while back? Are they still "Toots"?

@probgoblin it's still toots i hate it here lol

glitch-soc has Publish! instead, and a lot of admins change it but it's still officially toots

@JamesGleick I have all those metrics turned off on every account I use.
I still get notifications of favorites which is nice.

@JamesGleick There's been a debate about "toots" for years, even among the Mastodon devs - it's not wrong to have an opinion on it!

@JamesGleick I experienced the exact same thing this morning. ...And then I logged on to Mastodon!

@JamesGleick I'm not sure what "ratioed" is, but I for one took your toot for the light-hearted fun you intended, and my reply was supposed to be likewise. Certainly no offense taken here, my friend 🙂
