I am confused as to how a reporter for a major mainstream publication could come onto Mastodon, write an entire article about it that repeatedly insists that posts are called "twoots."
First off, they were called "toots" not "twoots" and second is that that name has been deprecated on many servers, and Mastodon's creator no longer calls them that.
@mmasnick Somehow I think you're exaggerating, with all due respect: I don't know which reporter wrote that, but a lot of reporters are entirely ignorant when it comes to their "specialization."
I was a "journalist" for TheServerSide, but because I was a "journalist" it was assumed I knew little of what I wrote about... meanwhile, in practice, I used *everything* I wrote about, or else I said that I hadn't used it so I couldn't verify what I wrote.
