So... just to be clear... we're sticking with "Toot"?
These are "Toots"...?
And because of my last name, mine are "Butt Toots"?
I'm supposed to NOT feel like you're all setting me up?
@BrentButt and why isn’t it blast?
@BrentButt Well, if this whole thing lasts at least it'll be easy stand-up fodder.

@BrentButt You play the cards you’re dealt, my man.

I look forward to boosting your Butt Toots.

@BrentButt you set yourself up, surely?
@BrentButt My first (nick)name is Randy, so I post Randy toots - which is probably amusing in the UK.
@BrentButt I'm so sorry but you do appear to be the butt of a joke here. I'll show myself out (with the appropriate apologies.)
@BrentButt 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@BrentButt

That's the way it works.

https://mastodon.social/@brentbutt is the link you'd use on other sites, in your .sig, etc.

Think of @BrentButt is how we find each other when we're loggeed into the platform

Or, at least, that's my understanding.

@cardamomaddict @BrentButt not quite. You could register @BrentButt on mstdn.ca if you wanted. They are completely different and independent accounts. This is why the short version doesn't even highlight on my post, but the long form I used first does.

This is why having verified links in your bio is important. They are the core of trust on the #fediverse. Only the real Brent can have a verified link to their own website since it requires editing the site to have the verified mark.

@kawazoe @BrentButt Thank you :) When I typed in @brentbutt@... it seems Masto automatically shortened it to just the @ and his name. I think it may be because I follow him. I didn't catch it when I hit publish.
@BrentButt i think it actually sounds better than "butt tweets" :). Glad to have you on the bright side :) Welcome
@BrentButt Brent, Brent, the musical fruit… the more he eats, the more Butt toots.
@BrentButt
But I think these toots are not about butt, as you make the toot sound like a toot, and I'm not talking out of my butt, just a simple word salad with toot dressing TM. Catch my drift? (pun intentend 🤪)

@BrentButt

It's like they custom made this platform for you! Now you can toot about your Butt Holes!

@BrentButt I think every Toot is a piece of high art.

I suggest renaming then to p.h.arts.

@BrentButt
Yes, my friend, we have been playing the long game for several years now to get to this .
@BrentButt wait til you try "retooting." 😯
@BrentButt Awesome, you’re on Mastodon! 😊

@BrentButt It's two, two, two toots in one!

Great to find you here!

@BrentButt if you've got Corner Gas, there will be Butt toots.
@BrentButt @monicarooney 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@BrentButt I prefer to call them farts m'self

@BrentButt No. It was "Toot!" when I started, but it's been "Publish" since about the time of the great darkening over at birdsite. (Just coincidence, I think. Honestly.)

The creator is German, and was unfamiliar with other meanings in English, but it's now changed.

@BrentButt A "Butt Toot" is better than a "Butt Post" isn't it? I'd be more comfortable with a toot rather than a post🤣
@BrentButt I mean, you must have a few stories from school Mr. Butt. Yes?
😁sry
@BrentButt ok… following the butt toots now 🤣😂🤣 how can I not?
@BrentButt I prefer posts. But that doesn't sound any better for you....
@BrentButt I feel that it is essential for you to refer to them as such.
@BrentButt This platform was *made* for you
@BrentButt as long as you don't toot your own horn... Ahahah
@BrentButt
😄​
I don't feel very much like using imitation bird-site-words. "Posts" sounds more appealing to me than "toots."
@BrentButt
Toots is ridiculous!
I say we embrace the fart…

@BrentButt

This is the kind of Butt Toot I look forward to.

@BrentButt
You have found the home you have been searching for all of your life. Welcome 🐘

@BrentButt hahahah Butt Toot. 😋💨

Personally i chose to forget that is what its called but perhaps you could really make it work for you.

#toot

@BrentButt Listen, my last name is Sass so have a similar issue when you say FN+LN+”Toots” quickly.
My kid could have been named Kickma, Kissma or Titus except eventually they’ll be picking my housing, care and meal plans. Couldn’t risk it.
Insult to injury, don’t put an apostrophe in the wrong spot.

@BrentButt .

No. I refuse to call them that.

It's fucking idiotic.

They're tweets. Or posts. Or even blogs if you really must.

@BrentButt
We really need to rethink the “toots” thing.
It’s too close to what our nemesis the birdsite uses.
Blasts, maybe?
@Ragabuchan @BrentButt I call them “donnies,” after the “don” in Mastodon.

@BrentButt

“Hamm toots” aren’t much better, if at all.

@BrentButt Well… we all had a meeting to discuss it, and since you didn’t show up…
@BrentButt thats pretty funny, could be a good theme!
@BrentButt pretty sure this makes you part owner
@BrentButt
I didn't use the word "tweet" at Twitter & I won't use "toot" here. I'm a rebel, Dottie.
@BrentButt Wait until a german will tell you that "Brent" means "Burn" in their language... "Es brennt" = "It burns"... 😶
