Sukrit TanWhat do **you** call messages on #Mastodon?
I’m curious, I’ve seen both, and I wanna know what most people think, so here’s a #poll. Please boost to increase sample size!
Toots
Posts
Other (plz leave a comment)

Devin@actsukrit I kinda just call them posts haha. I’ve seen both as well, and I’ve read a few reasonings behind each, but toot just sounds a little silly to my ears. 😅
@ProfWaffles I find it very cute personally 🎺
But I usually do call them posts myself. Especially when discussing Mastodon outside Mastodon.
@actsukrit Agreed it is a bit endearing! Maybe it will take off, but I agree with your reasoning and that’s a big part of why I go with “post.” I mean I read something the other day where “tweet” is actually being used to just describe short posts, not specifically birdsite ones.
Maybe I’ll alternate between toot and post from time to time, but I think I’m done tweeting!
Pampelmops@ProfWaffles @actsukrit I agree with both of you. I like toot very much but won't use it out of context.
(first toot ever btw)
@Pampelmops @actsukrit Yay, happy first toot then! 🎺🐘

Either Toots or Roars.

civfanatics@actsukrit we're TBH too new to really judge this yet.
I think I'd in general refer to them as posts, but might just need some time to get used to the lingo.

x0@actsukrit I call them both actually, which you don't have an option for. Just sort of alternate between them.
Tattie (old account)@actsukrit depends mainly on whether I'm in serious or shitposting mode.
Brandon Tyson@actsukrit I call them messages or direct messages.
Creative! Queer!! Autistic!!!@actsukrit
"Posts", but "toots" if I'm feelin' cute.
