FUN FACT: they're called "toots" on mastodon* because of a certain famous youtuber known as

Hbomberguy

who offered to support the mastodon patreon permanently forever if gargron changed the "publish" button to say "toot" lmao 😂

*i've been here for six years and will absolutely die on this hill, people still call them toots so gargron's opinion is irrelevant lol

@alan probably, considering gargron refers to the offer as "jokingly"

@vantablack
as a non-native english speaker: is the double meaning of "toot" in some way related to that one guy who warns others by saying "toot toot", from a (disney iirc) teen comedy tv series taking place in an american highschool?

@vantablack So you're saying the BDFL of Mastodon is prone to selling out without thinking things through?
