Wait, these are actually called toots?

Who in marketing made that decision and can I have a word with them?

@sparkythebear I mean, Twitter called them tweets since that's the noise a bird makes. What noise do you think a Mastodon makes?
@KinkyKobolds but shouldn’t it be like PPPPPPHERERRRRRRRREEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTT then or something?
@sparkythebear I've been laughing for a solid 15 seconds at this. I needed that this morning. 😂
