"toot" might be stupid but you've simply forgotten that "tweet" is equally stupid
@tinybird meanwhile im on cohost posting chodes 😏
@candle @tinybird petition to made timetheft's post button even dumber
@tinybird every time there's a post an extra o gets added
@Modernmodron hey, remember when google's pagination said "Goooooooooogle"?
@tinybird @Modernmodron i think i cant do it via admin panel sadly

@tinybird the problem with both is you don't get appropriate sfx when posting ):

I will happily call things "toots" if you get a little trumpet or fart noise when you make them, but until then...

@tinybird I just don't say toot, I use post instead.
@dcbaok yeah, that's fair! I usually do as well
@tinybird 💯…the naming of features in any given P2P, decentralized, federated ecosystem will veer into the absurd, because that’s how human tribes operate. I don’t make the rules.
@tinybird I will continue to maintain that they’re both stupid. But one is derivative of stupid, which I find worse.
@tinybird I remember the days when everyone thought tweet was a ridiculous term
@tinybird @bigzaphod I like that someone from the company responsible for “tweet” boosted this
@tinybird both stupid, but one is also terribly ugly and feels like a kick in the teeth
@tinybird at least tweet isn’t a bodily function.
@tinybird It was so much fun to rip on “iPad” in 2010.

@tinybird i read toots will be renamed to posts to have a more familiar term.

@tinybird toot is cute like boop and snoot. I love it better than tweet
@tinybird If I have to squeech or zeezle to be heard, I will squeech, and I will zeezle. And I will happily hear (read) the zeezles and squeeches of others! Everything in the name of human interaction :)
@tinybird I like tooting. It’s delightfully silly.
