Now I’m sad, lol:

“To the chagrin of many Mastodon users, the software’s developer has decided to formally retire the word “toot,” a term long used to describe posts on the decentralized social media service.”

Mastodon Has Officially Retired the 'Toot,' Its Version of the Tweet

Not everyone is pleased with the decision to change "toot" to "publish," but many third-party apps are continuing to use the original term for posts anyway.

“Toot” was a good term!
@Torrleonard I just got here & will not be using any other term to describe what I'm tooting here o7
