@stangleskid lore here: https://gizmodo.com/mastodon-toot-retired-twitter-tweet-equivalent-1849786221
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.

“If you're gonna get on Mastodon, I would like to apologise in advance for being the guy responsible for posts being called "Toots". I thought it was funny. And it is, and it's even funnier that some people hate it. I take it back, I'm not sorry. Ha ha. Toots.”
